smuX.trigger.measure.Y()
This function configures the measurements that are to be made in a subsequent sweep.
Usage
smuX.trigger.measure.Y(rbuffer)
smuX.trigger.measure.iv(ibuffer, vbuffer)
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua.trigger.measure.v()
applies to SMU channel A)
SMU measurement type (v = voltage, i = current, r = resistance, p = power)
A reading buffer object where the readings are stored
A reading buffer object where current readings are stored
A reading buffer object where voltage readings are stored
Details
As measurements are made, they are stored in a reading buffer. If the instrument is configured to
return multiple readings where one is requested, the readings are available as they are made.
Measurements are in the following units of measure: v = volts, i = amperes, r = ohms, p = watts.
The smuX.trigger.measure.iv() function stores current readings in ibuffer and voltage
readings in vbuffer.
If a given reading buffer contains any data, it is cleared before making any measurements, unless the
reading buffer has been configured to append data.
The SMU only retains the last call to any one of these functions and only that measurement action is
performed.
After configuring the measurements to make with this function, enable the measurement action.
Example
smua.trigger.measure.v(vbuffername)
smua.trigger.measure.action = smua.ENABLE
Stores voltage readings during the sweep for
SMU channel A in buffer vbuffername.
