SweepVListMeasureI()
This KISweep factory script function performs a voltage list sweep with current measured at every step (point).
Usage
SweepVListMeasureI(smuX, vlist, stime, points)
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua.reset() applies to SMU
channel A)
Arbitrary list of voltage source values; vlist = {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 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 voltage list sweep with current measured at every step (point):
1. Sets the SMU to output vlist volts value, allows the source to settle for stime seconds, and
then performs a current measurement.
2. Sets the SMU to output the next vlist volts value, allows the source to settle for stime
seconds, and then performs a current measurement.
3. Repeats the above sequence until the current is measured for the last volts value. The last point
in the list to be measured is points.
Example
myvlist = {-0.1, 0.1, -1, 1, -6, 6, -40, 40, 0, 0}
SweepVListMeasureI(smua, myvlist, 500E-3, 10)
This function performs a 10-point voltage list sweep starting at the first point in myvlist. Current 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.
