Section 5: Sweep Operation Series 2600 System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
Linear staircase sweep example
1. Configure source functions.
Examples – The following commands restore defaults and set the compliance to 1V:
smua.reset() -- Restore Series 2600 defaults.
smua.source.limitv = 1 -- Set compliance to 1V.
2. Configure and execute the sweep.
Example – The following parameters configure a linear staircase current sweep from 1mA
to 10mA with 10 points and a 0.1 second settling time:
SweepILinMeasureV(smua, 1e-3, 10e-3, 0.1, 10)
--Linear staircase sweep, Channel A, 1mA to 10mA, 0.1 second delay, 10 points.
waitcomplete()
-- Wait for sweep to complete.
3. Request readings.
Request readings from Buffer 1 as follows:
printbuffer(1, 10, smua.nvbuffer1.readings)
Pulse sweep example
1. Configure source functions
Examples – The following commands restore defaults and set the compliance to 10V:
smua.reset() --Restore Series 2600 defaults.
smua.source.limitv = 10 --Set compliance to 5V.
2. Configure and execute the sweep.
Example – The following parameters configure a 10mA current pulse sweep with a 10ms
pulse on time, a 50ms pulse off time, and 10 pulse-measure cycles:
PulseIMeasureV(smua, 1e-3, 10e-3, 10e-3, 50e-3, 10)
-- Pulse current sweep, Channel A, 1mA bias, 10mA level, 10ms pulse on, 50ms
pulse off, 10 cycles.
waitcomplete()
-- Wait for sweep to complete.
3. Request readings.
Request readings from Buffer 1 as follows:
printbuffer(1, 10, smua.nvbuffer1.readings)
