Single pulse example
The SMU programming example below illustrates how to use a single timer to control the pulse width
of a single-shot pulse measurement. The programming example configures the timer and SMU as
follows:
Timer 1: Pulse-width timer
• Set the delay attribute of a timer equal to the appropriate pulse width.
• Configure the timer to trigger when the SMU moves out of the arm layer of the trigger model.
• Assign the trigger event generated by the timer to the stimulus input of the SMU end pulse event
detector.
SMU A
• Configure the source action to start immediately by setting the stimulus input of the source event
detector to 0.
• Set the end pulse action to SOURCE_IDLE.
The following figure shows the trigger setup for this example.
