Set up the application using TSP commands in a linear sweep
In this example, the code steps the gate-source voltage, sweeps the drain-source voltage at each
step, and measures the drain-source current. The parameters for this example are:
• SMU-1 (drain) is the sweeper and master node (set to node 1)
• Starting step voltage: 0 V
• Stopping step voltage: 5 V
• Number of steps: 51
• SMU-2 (gate) is the stepper and subordinate node 2
• Starting step voltage: 2 V
• Stopping step voltage: 5 V
• Number of steps: 4
