13-4 Factory Scripts Series 2600 System SourceMeters Reference Manual
2600S-901-01 Rev. A / May 2006 Return to Section 13 topics
TSP Project Name: KIFactoryGeneral
TSP Test Script Name: KIGeneral
Firmware Version: 1.0.2 and later
Function:
PulseVMeasureI(smu, bias, level, ton, toff, points)
Description: Performs a specified number of pulse V, measure I cycles:
• Sets the smu to output bias volts and dwell for ton seconds.
• Sets the smu to output level volts and dwell for ton seconds.
• Performs current measurement with source at level amps.
• Sets the smu to output bias volts 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 volts.
level: Pulse level in volts.
ton: Pulse on-time in seconds.
toff: Pulse off-time in seconds.
points: Number of pulse-measure cycles.
Data: Pulsed current measurements, voltage levels and timestamps are stored in
smuX.nvbuffer1.
Example:
PulseVMeasureI(smub, -1, 1, 1E-3, 2E-3, 20)
SMU B will output -1V and dwell for 1ms, output 1V and dwell for 2ms, and
then perform a current measurement. After the measurement, the output will
return to -1V and dwell for 2ms. This pulse-measure process will repeat 19
more times.
