Details
This function causes the SMU to clear the four trigger model event detectors and enter its trigger model (moves
the SMU from the idle state into the arm layer).
To perform source actions during the sweep, before calling this function, it is necessary to configure and enable
one of the following sweep source actions:
•
smuX.trigger.source.linearY()
•
smuX.trigger.source.listY()
•
smuX.trigger.source.logY()
To perform measurements during the sweep, you must also configure and enable the measure action using
smuX.trigger.measure.Y().
If you run this function more than once without reconfiguring the sweep measurements, the caches on the
configured measurement reading buffers will hold stale data; use the bufferVar.clearcache() function to
remove stale values from the reading buffer cache.
This function initiates an overlapped operation.
