rangeType, failAbort, dual, bufferName)
configListName
A string that contains the name of the configuration list that the instrument will
create for this sweep
start
The voltage or current source level at which the sweep starts:
 Current: -1.05 A to 1.05 A
 Voltage: -1100 V to 1100 V
stop
The voltage or current at which the sweep stops:
 Current: -1.05 A to 1.05 A
 Voltage: -1100 V to 1100 V
step
The step size at which the source level will change; must be more than 0
sDelay
The delay between measurement points; default is smu.DELAY_AUTO, which
enables autodelay, a specific delay value from 50 μs to 10 ks, or 0 for no delay
count
The number of times to run the sweep; default is 1:
 Infinite loop: smu.INFINITE
 Finite loop: 1 to 268,435,455
rangeType
The source range that is used for the sweep:
 Most sensitive source range for each source level in the sweep:
smu.RANGE_AUTO
 Best fixed range: smu.RANGE_BEST (default)
 Present source range for the entire sweep:
smu.RANGE_FIXED
failAbort
Complete the sweep if the source limit is exceeded: smu.OFF
Abort the sweep if the source limit is exceeded: smu.ON (default)
dual
Determines if the sweep runs from start to stop and then from stop to start:
 Sweep from start to stop only: smu.OFF (default)
 Sweep from start to stop, then stop to start:
smu.ON
