Math operation commands
Command Description
Takes a user-specified positive or negative value and converts it into a positive
value that is returned to a specified variable.
Adds two real numbers and stores the result in a specified variable.
Divides two real numbers and stores the result in a specified variable.
Supplies the base of natural logarithms (e) raised to a specified power and stores
the result as a variable.
Returns the natural logarithm of a real number to the specified variable.
Multiplies two real numbers and stores the result as a specified variable.
Changes the sign of a value and stores the result as a specified variable.
Raises a real number to a specified power and assigns the result to a specified
variable.
Performs a square root operation on a real number and returns the result to the
specified variable.
Subtracts two real numbers and stores their difference in a specified variable.
SMU commands
Command Description
Specifies an array of delay points to use with asweep
X
Generates a waveform based on a user-defined forcing array (logarithmic sweep or
other custom forcing commands).
Makes a series of measurements and averages the results.
Makes a series of readings as quickly as possible. This measurement mode allows
for waveform capture and analysis (within the resolution of the measurement
bsweepX (on page 13-
Supplies a series of ascending or descending voltages or currents and shuts down
the source when a trigger condition is encountered.
Sets all sources to a zero state.
Sets all sources to a zero state.
Programs a sourcing instrument to generate a voltage or current at a specific level.
getstatus (on page 13-
Returns the operating state of a specified instrument.
Performs voltage or current measurements averaged over a user-defined period
(usually, one AC line cycle).
Allows the programmer to specify a current or voltage limit other than the default
limit of the instrument.
Defines the bottom autorange limit.
Allows the measurement of voltage, current, or time.
Uses a source-measure unit (SMU) to force a voltage pulse and measure both the
voltage and current for exact device loading.
Directs a SMU to force a voltage or current at a specific level for a predetermined
length of time.
Selects a range and prevents the selected instrument from autoranging.
Returns the array of force values used during the subsequent voltage or frequency
sweep.
