ConfigPulseVMeasureISweepLog()
This KIPulse factory script (on page 7-22) function configures a voltage pulse train with a current measurement at
each point.
Usage
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureISweepLog(smu, bias, start, stop, limit, ton, toff, points,
buffer, tag, sync_in, sync_out, sync_in_timeout, sync_in_abort)
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureISweepLog(smu, bias, start, stop, limit, ton, toff, points,
buffer, tag, sync_in, sync_out, sync_in_timeout)
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureISweepLog(smu, bias, start, stop, limit, ton, toff, points,
buffer, tag, sync_in, sync_out)
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureISweepLog(smu, bias, start, stop, limit, ton, toff, points,
buffer, tag, sync_in)
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureISweepLog(smu, bias, start, stop, limit, ton, toff, points,
buffer, tag)
A Boolean flag; this flag is true when the pulse was successfully configured, false
when errors were encountered
A string message; if the f flag is false, msg contains an error message; if it is
true, msg contains a string indicating successful configuration
Instrument channel (for example, smua refers to SMU channel A)
Pulse sweep start level in volts
Pulse sweep stop level in volts
Current limit (for example, compliance) in amperes
Pulse off time in seconds
Number of pulse-measure cycles
Reading buffer where pulsed measurements are stored; if this is nil when the
function is called, no measurements are made when the pulse train is initiated
Numeric identifier to be assigned to the defined pulse train
Defines a digital I/O trigger input line; if programmed, the pulse train waits for a
trigger input before executing each pulse
Defines a digital I/O trigger output line; if programmed, the pulse train generates a
trigger output immediately before the start of ton
Specifies the length of time (in seconds) to wait for input trigger; default value is 10 s
Specifies whether or not to abort pulse if input trigger is not received; if pulse aborts
because of a missed trigger, a timer timeout message is returned; true or false
Details
Data for pulsed current measurements are stored in the reading buffer specified by the buffer input
parameter.
This function configures a logarithmic pulsed voltage sweep with a current measurement at each
point. Measurements are made at the end of the ton time.
The magnitude of the first pulse is start volts; the magnitude of the last pulse is stop volts. The
magnitude of each pulse in between is LogStep
n
volts larger than the previous pulse, where:
