Details
Data for current measurements, voltage 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 linear voltage sweep with current measured at every step (point):
1. Sets the SMU to output startv amperes, allows the source to settle for stime seconds, and
then makes a current measurement.
2. Sets the SMU to output the next amperes step, allows the source to settle for stime seconds,
and then makes a voltage measurement.
3. Repeats the above sequence until the voltage is measured on the stopv amperes step.
The linear step size is automatically calculated as follows:
step = (stopv – startv) / (points – 1)

Example
SweepVLinMeasureI(smua, -1, 1, 1e-3, 1000)
This function performs a 1000-point linear voltage sweep starting at -1 V and stopping at +1 V. Current is
measured at every step (point) in the sweep after a 1 ms source settling period.
