Command programming notes
Conventions
For the following command reference, it is necessary to understand the following conventions:
Wild characters
Many source-measure unit (SMU) commands are expressed in a generic form using wild
characters. A wild character indicates a SMU channel, function, or array index. Keep in mind that
wild characters used in the generic form are NOT to be included in the command sent to the
instrument.
X
and
Y
The
X
character is used for functions and attributes to indicate the SMU channel (
a
or
b
) and
Y
is
used to indicate the SMU function (
v
,
i
,
r
, or
p
). For example, the attribute for the source output
setting is generically expressed as follows:
smuX.source.levelY
To program SMU Channel A to 5 Volts, the following command statement is to be sent to the
instrument:
smua.source.levelv = 5.0
To program SMU channel B to 1 mA, the following command statement is to be sent to the
instrument:
smub.source.leveli = 0.001
