Switch matrix control
You can use the connect action in the ivcvswitch project to control switching. You can also use
the ConnectPins user module in the Matrixulib user library.
The connect action uses the ConnectPins user module to control a switch matrix. You specify the
instrument terminal and pin pairs. For example, for the row-column connection scheme shown in the
figure below, you set the parameters:
• TermIDStr2 to SMU2 and Pin2 to 6, which connects SMU2 to pin 6.
• TermIDStr8 to GNDU and Pin8 to 3, which connects GNDU (ground unit) to pin 3.
A matrix control example using the ConnectPins user module is provided in
Switch matrix control
example (on page A-30). Detailed information for ConnectPins is provided in Matrixulib user library
(on page 6-314).
