SweepILogMeasureV()
This KISweep factory script function performs a logarithmic current sweep with voltage measured at every step
(point).
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function No
Usage
SweepILogMeasureV(smu, starti, stopi, stime, points)
smu
starti
stopi
stime
points
Details
Data for voltage measurements, current source values, and timestamps are stored in
smuX.nvbuffer1.
If all parameters are omitted when this function is called, this function is executed with the parameters
set to the default values.
Performs a logarithmic current sweep with voltage measured at every step (point):
1. Sets the smu to output starti amperes value, allows the source to settle for stime seconds,
and then performs a voltage measurement.
2. Sets the smu to output the next amperes step, allows the source to settle for stime seconds, and
then performs a voltage measurement.
3. Repeats the above sequence until the voltage is measured on the stopi amperes step.
The source level at each step (SourceStepLevel) is automatically calculated as follows:
MeasurePoint = The step point number for a measurement
For example, for a five-point sweep (points = 5), a measurement is performed at MeasurePoint 1,
2, 3, 4, and 5.
LogStepSize = (log10(stopi) – log10(starti)) / (points – 1)
LogStep = (MeasurePoint – 1) * (LogStepSize)
SourceStepLevel = antilog(LogStep) * starti
