Return to Section 13 topics 2600S-901-01 Rev. A / May 2006
TSP Project Name: KIFactoryGeneral
TSP Test Script Name: KIGeneral
Firmware Version: 1.0.2 and later
Function:
PulseIMeasureV(smu, bias, level, ton, toff, points)
Description: Performs a specified number of pulse I, measure V cycles:
• Sets the smu to output bias amps and dwell for ton seconds.
• Sets the smu to output level amps and dwell for ton seconds.
• Performs voltage measurement with source at level amps.
• Sets the smu to output bias amps for toff seconds.
• Repeats the above sequence for points pulse-measure cycles.

Parameters:
smu, bias, level, ton, toff, points
smu: SourceMeter Channel (A or B). Defaults to smua if all parameters
are omitted when function is called.
bias: Bias level in amps.
level: Pulse level in amps.
ton: Pulse on-time in seconds.
toff: Pulse off-time in seconds.
points: Number of pulse-measure cycles.
Data: Pulsed voltage measurements, current levels and timestamps are stored in
smuX.nvbuffer1.
Example:
PulseIMeasureV(smua, 0.001, 1.0, 20E-3, 40E-3, 10)
SMU A will output 1mA and dwell for 20ms, output 1A and dwell for 20ms,
and then perform a voltage measurement. After the measurement, the output
will return to 1mA and dwell for 40ms. This pulse-measure process will repeat
9 more times.
