Return to Section 13 topics 2600S-901-01 Rev. A / May 2006
TSP Project Name: KIFactoryPulse
TSP Test Script Name: KIPulse
Firmware Version: 1.2.0 and later
Function:
ConfigPulseIMeasureVSweepLin
Usage:
f, msg = ConfigPulseIMeasureVSweepLin
(smu,bias,start,stop,limit,ton,toff,points,buffer,tag[,sync_in]
[,sync_out])
Description:
Configures a linear pulsed current sweep with a voltage measurement at
each point. Measurement(s) will be made at the end of the ton time. The
magnitude of the first pulse will be start amps. The magnitude of the last
pulse will be stop amps. The magnitude of each pulse in between will be
step amps larger than the previous pulse where:
step = (stop - start) / (points - 1)
This function does not cause the specified smu to output a pulse train. It
simply checks to see if all of the pulse dimensions are achievable and if so,
assigns the indicated tag or index to it. The InitPulseTest(tag) and
InitPulseTestDual(tag) functions are used to initiate a pulse train
assigned to a valid tag.
Parameters:
smu,bias,start,stop,limit,ton,toff,points,buffer,tag
[,sync_in][,sync_out])
smu: SourceMeter channel. (e.g. smua).
bias: Pulse bias level in amps.
start: Pulse sweep start level in amps.
stop: Pulse sweep stop level in amps.
limit: Voltage limit (i.e. compliance) in volts.
ton: Pulse width (i.e. on-time) in seconds.
toff: Pulse off time in seconds.
points: Number of pulse measure cycles.
buffer: Reading buffer where pulsed measurements will be stored. If
this is nil when the function is called, no measurements will
be made when the pulse train is initiated.
tag: Numeric identifier to be assigned to the defined pulse train.
sync_in: Defines a digital IO trigger input line. If programmed, the pulse
train will wait for a trigger input before executing each pulse.
This parameter is optional.
sync_out: Defines a digital IO trigger output line. If programmed, the pulse
train will generate a trigger output immediately prior to the start
of ton. This parameter is optional.
