How do I interact with scripts using Test Script Builder?

The following function for factory script "KIPulse" is stored in the nonvolatile memory of the Series
2600A:
PulseVMeasureI(smu, bias, level, ton, toff, points)
The above function performs a specified number of pulse V, measure I cycles:
• Sets the smu to output bias volts and dwell for ton seconds.
• Sets the smu to output level volts and dwell for ton seconds.
• Performs current measurement with the source at level volts.
• Sets the smu to output bias volts for toff seconds.
• Repeats the above sequence for points pulse-measure cycles.

Step 1: Call the function
The following are example parameters for the PulseVMeasureI function which will perform three
pulse voltage, measure current cycles:
