Running a factory script

Reference
The following steps explain how to run the PulseVMeasureI function and read
the data stored in the buffer.
Step 1: Call the function
The following are example parameters for the PulseVMeasureI function which
will perform three pulse voltage, measure current cycles:
= SMU A
smu
bias
The following command will execute the PulseVMeasureI function using the
above parameters:
PulseVMeasureI(smua, -1, 1, 1E-3, 2E-3, 3)
Step 2: Read the buffer
Reference
The above function stores the three current measurements in the reading buffer
( smua.nvbuffer1 ). Also stored in the buffer are the voltage source settings and
timestamps for the measurements. The timestamps (in seconds) are referenced
to the start of the test. The timer for the timestamps starts at zero seconds when
the test is started.
The printbuffer function is used to print (output) measured readings,
timestamps and/or source values stored in the buffers.
Print readings – The following code will return the three measured current
readings stored in nvbuffer1 :
rb1 = smua.nvbuffer1
printbuffer(1, rb1.n, rb1)
Example output: 1.234567e-03, 2.362360e-03, 2.362368e-03
For the above printbuffer function, 1 is the starting index for values to print,
rb1.n
( smua.nvbuffer1 ).

Refer to "Factory scripts" in Section 2 of the Series 2600 Reference
Manual for details on running factory scripts.
NOTE All commands to run a factory script are to be executed
from the Instrument Console of the Test Script Builder.
NOTE The "KIGeneral" factory script is an autorun script. The
script runs automatically when the Series 2600 is turned on.
The functions of the script are ready to be called.
