Series 2600A System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
Assuming SMU A output is on, it will output 2V and measure the current. The current reading is
sent to the host PC and displayed.
Interactive scripts
An interactive script prompts the operator (via the SourceMeter instrument’s display) to input test
parameters (via the SourceMeter instrument’s front panel). The chunk fragment below uses display
messages to prompt the operator to select an SMU Channel (A or B), a source function (I or V), and
to input the source level. When an input prompt is displayed, the script will wait until the operator
inputs the parameter and/or presses the
ENTER
key.
The
display.prompt
command in the following script prompts the user to input a source level. If a
value is not entered, the default level (1mA or 1V) will be set when
ENTER
is pressed. The
operator will not be able to input values that are not within the minimum (0.5mA or 0.1V) and
maximum (3mA or 10V) limits.
Script Chunk Fragment (Test Script Builder or User’s Program)
--Prompt operator to select channel:
chan = display.menu("Select Channel", "smua smub")
if (chan == "smua") then
chan = smua
end
if (chan == "smub") then
chan = smub
end
--Prompt operator to select (input) the source function:
func = display.menu("Select Function", "amps volts")
if (func == "amps") then
chan.source.func = chan.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
else
chan.source.func = chan.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
end
--Prompt operator to set (input) source level:
if (func == "amps") then
level = display.prompt("0.0E+00", " mA", "Enter I level",
1E- 3, 0.5E-3, 5E-3)
else
level = display.prompt("00.0", " V", "Enter V level",
1, 0.1, 10)
end
--Wait for operator to set source level:
if (func == "amps") then
chan.source.leveli = level
else
chan.source.levelv = level
end
