TSP Project Name: KIFactoryGeneral
TSP Test Script Name: KIGeneral
Firmware Version: 1.0.2 and later
Function:
SweepILogMeasureV(smu, starti, stopi, stime, points)
Description: Performs a logarithmic current sweep with voltage measured at every step
(point):
• Sets the smu to output starti amps, allows the source to settle for
stime seconds and then performs a voltage measurement.
• Sets the smu to output the next amps step, allows the source to settle for
stime seconds and then performs a voltage measurement.
• Repeats the above sequence until the voltage is measured on the stopi
amps step.
The source level at each step (SourceStepLevel) is automatically calculated
as follows:
MeasurePoint = The step point number for a measurement. For example,
for a 5-point sweep (
points = 5), a measurement will be performed at
MeasurePoint 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
LogStepSize = (log10(stopi) – log10(starti)) / (points – 1)
LogStep = (MeasurePoint – 1) x (LogStepSize)
SourceStepLevel = antilog(LogStep) x starti

= Voltage measurement

Parameters:
smu, starti, stopi, stime, points
smu: SourceMeter Channel (A or B). Defaults to smua if all parameters
are omitted when function is called.
starti: Sweep start current in amps.
stopi: Sweep stop current in amps.
stime: Settling time in seconds. Occurs after stepping the source and
before performing a measurement.
points: Number of sweep measure points (must be ≥2).
Data: Voltage measurements, current source values and timestamps are stored in
smuX.nvbuffer1.
