Return
values
f:
A Boolean flag. This flag will be
true
when the pulse was successfully
configured,
false
when errors were encountered.
msg:
A string message. If the
f
flag is
false
,
msg
will contain an error
message. Otherwise,
msg
will contain a string indicating successful
configuration.
Output
Data
Pulsed current measurements are stored in the reading buffer specified by the
buffer
input argument.
Example
ConfigPulseVMeasureISweepLin(smub, 0, 1, 10, 1, 10e-3,
20e-3, 16, smub.nvbuffer1, 4)
Set up a pulsed sweep that will use SourceMeter instrument Channel B. The
pulsed sweep will start at 1V, end at 10V, and return to a 0V bias level between
pulses. Each pulsed step will be on for 10ms and then at the bias level for 20ms.
The current limit will be 1A during the entire pulsed sweep. The pulse train will be
comprised of 16 pulsed steps and the pulse train will be assigned a tag index of 4.

KIPulse
Function:
ConfigPulseIMeasureVSweepLog
Usage:
f, msg = ConfigPulseIMeasureVSweepLog
(smu,bias,start,stop,limit,ton,toff,points,buffer,tag[,sync_in]
[,sync_out][,sync_in_timeout][,sync_in_abort])
Description
Configures a logarithmic pulsed current sweep with a voltage measurement at
each point. Measurement(s) will be made at the end of the
ton
time. The
magnitude of the first pulse will be
start
amps. The magnitude of the last pulse
will be
stop
amps. The magnitude of each pulse in between will be
LogStep
n
amps larger than the previous pulse where:
LogStepSize =(log10(stop) - log10(start)) / (points -1)
LogStepn = (n - 1) x (LogStepSize) where n = [1, points]
SourceStepLeveln = antilog(LogStepn) x start
This function does not cause the specified
smu
to output a pulse train. It simply
checks to see if all of the pulse dimensions are achievable and if so, assigns the
indicated
tag
or index to it. The
InitiatePulseTest(tag)
and
InitiatePulseTestDual(tag)
functions are used to initiate a pulse train
assigned to a valid
tag
.
