smuX.trigger.arm.set()
This function sets the arm event detector to the detected state.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
smuX.trigger.arm.set()
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua.trigger.arm.set()
applies to SMU channel A)
Details
The SMU will automatically clear all the event detectors when the smuX.trigger.initiate() function is
executed. This function should be called after the sweep is initiated.
A common example of when this function can be used is when you want the SMU to immediately perform an
action the first time through the trigger model even if a programmed trigger event does not occur.
This function can also be used to start actions on the SMU in case of a missed trigger event.
Example
Sets the arm event detector to the
detected state for SMU channel A.
