Initiating and running sweeps
To run a sweep, you must configure the number of sweep points to output and the number of sweeps
to perform. See
Examples:
To start a sweep, use the smuX.trigger.initiate() function. Sweeps are overlapped
operations, so you can use the waitcomplete() function to suspend further operation until the
sweep is complete.
To sweep 15 source points:
smua.trigger.count = 15
To perform eight sweeps:
smua.trigger.arm.count = 8
Aborting a sweep
You can use the smuX.abort() function to terminate all overlapped operations on a
source-measure unit (SMU), including sweeps. It returns the SMU to the idle state of the remote
trigger model. See
Sweeping using factory scripts
Factory script functions that perform linear staircase, logarithmic staircase, and list sweeps are
described in
simple sweeps or use them as examples for programming your own custom sweeps.
To run a sweep from the virtual front panel:
1. Press the LOAD key, and then select FACTORY.
2. Select the name of the test to run.
3. Press the RUN key. Follow the display prompts to complete the test.
See Factory scripts
