SweepILinMeasureV(smua, -1e-3, 1e-3, 0, 100)
This function performs a 100-point linear current sweep starting at −1 mA and stopping at +1 mA. Voltage is
measured at every step (point) in the sweep. Because stime is set for 0 s, voltage is measured as quickly as
possible after each current step.

SweepIListMeasureV()
This KISweep factory script function performs a current list sweep with voltage measured at every step (point).
Usage
SweepIListMeasureV(smuX, ilist, stime, points)
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua refers to SMU channel A)
Arbitrary list of current source values; ilist = {value1, value2, ...valueN}
Settling time in seconds; occurs after stepping the source and before making
a measurement
Number of sweep points (must be ≥ 2)
Details
Data for voltage measurements, current source values, and timestamps are stored in
smuX.nvbuffer1.
If all parameters are omitted when this function is called, this function is executed with the parameters
set to the default values.
Performs a current list sweep with voltage measured at every step (point):
1. Sets the SMU to output ilist amperes value, allows the source to settle for stime seconds,
and then performs a voltage measurement.
2. Sets the SMU to output the next ilist step, allows the source to settle for stime seconds, and
then performs a voltage measurement.
3. Repeats the above sequence until the voltage is measured for the last amperes value. The last
point in the list to be measured is points.
Example
testilist = {-100e-9, 100e-9, -1e-6, 1e-6, -1e-3, 1e-3}
SweepIListMeasureV(smua, testilist, 500e-3, 6)
This function performs a six-point current list sweep starting at the first point in testilist. Voltage is
measured at every step (point) in the sweep. The source is allowed to settle on each step for 500 ms before a
measurement is performed.
