Enable and disable the pulser
To use the pulser of the 2601B-PULSE, you must enable it.
To enable the pulser, send the command:
smua.pulser.enable = smua.ENABLE
To disable the pulser, send the command:
smua.pulser.enable = smua.DISABLE
You can also disable the pulser by resetting the instrument through the front panel or a
remote command.
TSP commands used with the pulser
You must use remote commands and the trigger model to generate fast-edge current pulses and
measure current and voltage.
The following table lists attributes that are used to set up the pulser and measure the resulting current
and voltage. You can use the links in the table to go to the full command descriptions.
TSP attributes for use with the 2601B-PULSE pulser
smua.pulser.enable (on page 11-212)
Enables or disables the 2601B-PULSE pulser
smua.pulser.measure.aperture (on page 11-213)

model sweep
The following functions generate calibration constants for the pulser. Refer to Calibration (on page
13-1) for more information on calibration and adjustment of the 2601B-PULSE.
TSP calibration functions for use with the pulser
smua.pulser.measure.calibrateY() (on page 11-214)
Generates and activates new measurement calibration
constants for the pulser
smua.pulser.source.calibratebiasi() (on page 11-219)
Adjusts the new bias source calibration constants for
the pulser
smua.pulser.source.calibratei() (on page 11-221)
Generates and activates new source calibration
constants for the pulser
