Section 11: TSP command reference Model 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual

Details
Output data includes transconductance values, reading buffer with measured voltages, reading buffer
with measured voltages and currents.
If all parameters are omitted when this function is called, this function is executed with the parameters
set to the default values.
The gm_isweep() function performs a linear current sweep, measuring voltage and current, and
then calculating the transconductance (G
m
) at each point using the central difference method. It can
return an array of G
m
values, a reading buffer with the measured voltages, and a reading buffer with
the measured currents.
Example
gm_array = gm_isweep(smua, 0, 0.01, 20)
gm_array, vbuf = gm_isweep(smua, 0, 0.01, 20)
gm_array, vbuf, ibuf = gm_isweep(smua, 0,
0.01, 20)
Source-measure unit (SMU) A returns G
m
values only.
SMU A returns G
m
and reading buffer with
measured voltages.
SMU A returns G
m
and reading buffers with
measured voltages and currents.

gm_vsweep()
This KIParlib factory script function performs a linear voltage sweep and calculates the transconductance (G
m
) at
each point.
Usage
gm_array, ibuf, vbuf = gm_vsweep(smu, start_v, stop_v, points)
A Lua table containing the calculated G
m
values at each point
A reading buffer containing the measured current at each point
A reading buffer containing the measured voltage at each point
Instrument channel (for example, smua refers to SMU channel A)
Starting voltage level of the sweep
Ending voltage level of the sweep
Number of measurements between start_v and stop_v (must be  2)
