This function does not cause the specified smu to output a pulse train. It does check to see if all the
pulse dimensions can be achieved, and if they can, assigns the indicated tag or index to the pulse
train. The InitiatePulseTest(tag) and InitiatePulseTestDual(tag1, tag2) functions
are used to initiate a pulse train assigned to a valid tag.

Set up a pulsed logarithmic sweep that uses SMU channel A. The pulsed sweep starts at 1 V, ends at 10 V,
and returns to a 0 V bias level between pulses. Each pulsed step is on for 10 ms, and then at the bias level for
20 ms.
The current limit is 1 A during the entire pulsed sweep. The pulse train is comprised of 10 pulsed steps, and the
pulse train is assigned a tag index of 6.
