Details
This command sets the output level of the voltage or current source pulse when pulsing.
The sign of the source level dictates the polarity of the source. Positive values generate positive
voltage or current from the high terminal of the source relative to the low terminal. Negative values
generate negative voltage or current from the high terminal of the source relative to the low terminal.
If a manual source range is selected, the level cannot exceed the specified range. For example, if the
voltage source is on the 2 V range, you cannot set the voltage source level to 3 V. When auto range
is selected, the amplitude can be set to any level supported by the instrument because it will select
the correct range automatically when pulsing.
Use this command with a source configuration list to build a custom pulse sweep list that has unique
pulse level points. Then use that custom source configuration list as a parameter to the
smu.source.pulsesweeplist()
command to configure the instrument for the pulse sweep.
