Pulse sweep example
1. Configure source functions
Examples – The following commands restore defaults and set the
compliance to 10V:
smua.reset() --Restore Series 2600 defaults.
smua.source.limitv = 10 --Set compliance to 5V.
2. Configure the sweep.
Example – The following parameters configure a 10mA current pulse
sweep with a 10ms pulse on time, a 50ms pulse off time, and 10 pulse-
measure cycles:
PulseIMeasureV(smua, 1e-3,
10e-3, 10e-3, 50e-3, 10)
--Pulse current sweep, channel A,
1mA bias, 10mA level, 10ms pulse
on, 50ms pulse off, 10 cycles.
3. Run the sweep.
smua.source.output =
smua.OUTPUT_ON
--Turn on output.
waitcomplete() --Wait for sweep to complete.
4. Turn off 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)
