SweepILinMeasureV()
This KISweep factory script function performs a linear current sweep with voltage measured at every step (point).
Usage
SweepILinMeasureV(smua, starti, stopi, stime, points)
Sweep start current in amperes
Sweep stop current in amperes
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 smua.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 current sweep with voltage measured at every step (point):
1. Sets the SMU to output starti amperes, allows the source to settle for stime seconds, and
then makes a voltage 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 stopi amperes step.
The linear step size is automatically calculated as follows:
step = (stopi – starti) / (points – 1)
