List sweep forcing functions
A list sweep forcing function steps a current or voltage through a list of user-specified values at a
rate that is determined by the Timing and Speed settings in the ITM Definition tab. This sweep
generates parametric data that is recorded in the ITM Sheet tab Data worksheet and can be
plotted in the ITM Graph tab, if desired.
Understanding and configuring the Current List Sweep forcing function
The Current List Sweep forcing function increments through a series current values, each of
which is individually user-specified. Almost any pattern of steps may be configured, subject to the
range limitations of the SMU and the specified voltage compliance. Refer to the illustrations in

The Current List Sweep Function Parameters are configurable as listed below:
• Parameter list: The parameter list specifies the sequence and value of each current to be
forced during the list sweep. Each parameter value may be any valid SMU current.
NOTE
• Data Points: The Data Points value, an integer between 0 and 4095, specifies:
- The number of user-specified current values in the parameter list (refer to next bulleted
- The number of data points that are generated when a sweep is executed.
• The default Data Points value is 10.
- If you increase the Data Points value to greater than 10, the parameter list changes to a
