Number of pulse-measure cycles
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
Numeric identifier to be assigned to the defined pulse train
Defines a digital I/O trigger input line; if programmed, the pulse train will wait for a trigger input
before executing each pulse
Defines a digital I/O trigger output line; if programmed, the pulse train will generate a trigger
output immediately before the start of
Specifies the length of time (in seconds) to wait for input trigger; default value is 10 s
Specifies whether or not to abort pulse if input trigger is not received; if pulse aborts because of
a missed trigger, a timer timeout message is returned;

Details
Data for pulsed voltage measurements are stored in the reading buffer specified by the buffer input
parameter.
This function configures a linear pulsed current sweep with a voltage measurement at each point.
Measurements are made at the end of the ton time.
The magnitude of the first pulse will be start amperes; the magnitude of the last pulse will be stop
amperes. The magnitude of each pulse in between will be step amperes larger than the previous
pulse, where:
step = (stop - start) / (points - 1)
This function does not cause the specified smu to output a pulse train. It does check to see if all the
pulse dimensions can be achieved, and if they can, assigns the indicated tag or index to the pulse
train. The InitiatePulseTest(tag) and InitiatePulseTestDual(tag1, tag2) functions
are used to initiate a pulse train assigned to a valid tag.
