Parameters
smu,bias,start,stop,limit,ton,toff,points,buffer,tag
[,sync_in][,sync_out])
smu: SourceMeter instrument channel. (for example, smua).
bias: Pulse bias level in amps.
start: Pulse sweep start level in amps.
stop: Pulse sweep stop level in amps.
limit: Voltage limit (for example, compliance) in volts.
ton: Pulse width (for example, on-time) in seconds.
toff: Pulse off time in seconds.
points: Number of pulse measure cycles.
buffer: Reading buffer where pulsed measurements will be stored.
If this is nil when the function is called, no measurements
will be made when the pulse train is initiated.
tag: Numeric identifier to be assigned to the defined pulse train.
sync_in: Defines a digital I/O trigger input line. If programmed, the
pulse train will wait for a trigger input before executing each
pulse. This parameter is optional.
sync_out: Defines a digital I/O trigger output line. If programmed, the
pulse train will generate a trigger output immediately prior
to the start of ton. This parameter is optional.
sync_in_timeout: Specifies the length of time (in seconds) to wait for input
trigger (defaults to 10s).
sync_in_abort: (true or false) Whether to abort pulse if input trigger is not
received before timeout expires (defaults to true).
