Gm_Vsweep() - Keithley 2601B Reference Manual

Series 2600B System SourceMeter® Instrument Reference Manual
Details
Output data includes transconductance values, reading buffer with measured voltages, reading buffer with
measured voltages and currents.
If all parameters are omitted when this function is called, this function is executed with the parameters set to the
default values.
The gm_isweep() function performs a linear current sweep, measuring voltage and current, and then
calculating the transconductance (Gm) at each point using the central difference method. It can return an array of
Gm values, a reading buffer with the measured voltages, and a reading buffer with the measured currents.
Example
gm_array = gm_isweep(smua, 0, 0.01, 20)
gm_array, vbuf = gm_isweep(smua, 0, 0.01, 20)
gm_array, vbuf, ibuf = gm_isweep(smua, 0,
0.01, 20)
