delay function
This function is used to hold up system operation for a specified period of time. It is
typically used to soak a device at a specific voltage or current for a period of time.
delay
Function Delays system operation.
Usage
delay(seconds)
seconds
• This function will delay for the specified number of seconds. It is impossible to delay
Remarks
for zero seconds.
• Delays smaller than 50µs will be dominated by overhead such that the actual delay
might be as long as 50µs (typical). For delays longer than 50µs, the delay may be as
much as 10µs (typical) more than the requested delay.
Sets the SMU A output to 1V, soaks the DUT for 50ms and then turns the output off:
Example
smua.source.levelv = 1.0
delay(0.050)
smua.source.off()
Set delay in seconds (100000 seconds maximum).
