5-12 Sweep Operation Series 2600 System SourceMeters Reference Manual

Linear staircase sweep example
1. Configure source functions.
Examples – The following commands restore defaults and set the
compliance to 1V:
smua.reset() --Restore Series 2600 defaults.
smua.source.limitv = 1 --Set compliance to 1V.
2. Configure the sweep.
Example – The following parameters configure a linear staircase current
sweep from 1mA to 10mA with 10 points and a 0.1 second settling time:
SweepILinMeasureV(smua, 1e-3,
10e-3, 0.1, 10)
--Linear staircase sweep,
channel A, 1mA to 10mA, 0.1
second delay, 10 points.
3. Run the sweep.
smua.source.output =
smua.OUTPUT_ON
--Turn on output.
waitcomplete() --Wait for sweep to complete.
4. Turn off the output.
When the sweep is done, turn the source output off with this
command:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
5. Request readings.
Request readings from Buffer 1 as follows:
printbuffer(1, 10, smua.nvbuffer1.readings)
