Series 2600 System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual Section 13: Factory Scripts
Parameters
smu, bias, level, ton, toff, points
smu:SourceMeter Channel (A or B). Defaults to SMU A if all parameters are
omitted when function is called.
bias: Bias level in amps.
level: Pulse level in amps.
ton: Pulse on time in seconds.
toff: Pulse off time in seconds.
points: Number of pulse-measure cycles.
Data
Pulsed voltage measurements, current levels, and timestamps are stored in
smuX.nvbuffer1.
Example
PulseIMeasureV(smua, 0.001, 1.0, 20E-3, 40E-3, 10)
SMU A will output 1mA and dwell for 20ms, output 1A and dwell for 20ms, and
then perform a voltage measurement. After the measurement, the output will
return to 1mA and dwell for 40ms. This pulse-measure process will repeat 9 more
times.

TSP project name: KIFactoryGeneral
TSP test script name: KIGeneral
Firmware version: 1.0.2 and later
Function:
PulseVMeasureI(smu, bias, level, ton, toff, points)
Description Performs a specified number of pulse V, measure I cycles:
• Sets the smu to output bias volts and dwell for ton seconds.
• Sets the smu to output level volts and dwell for ton seconds.
• Performs current measurement with source at level amps.
• Sets the smu to output bias volts for toff seconds.
• Repeats the above sequence for points pulse-measure cycles.
