data is entered to the B1500 output buffer in the measurement order. If you want to
abort the measurement, use the agb1500_abortMeasure function.
ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb1500_startMeasure(ViSession vi, ViInt32 meas_type,
ViInt32 channel[ ], ViInt32 mode[ ], ViReal64 range[ ], ViInt32 source,
ViInt32 timestamp, ViInt32 monitor);
vi Instrument handle returned from agb1500_init( ).
meas_type Measurement type.
1: multi spot
2: staircase sweep
3: pulse spot
4: pulse sweep
5: sweep with pulsed bias
9: quasi pulsed spot
10: sampling (IV)
14: linear search
15: binary search
16: multi channel sweep
17: spot C
18: CV sweep
channel[ ] Slot number of the slot that installs the SMU/MFCMU to be
used. See Table 2-2.
channel=-1 detects the CMU slot automatically.
Enter 0 to the last element of channel[ ]. For example, if you use
two channels, set the array size to 3, specify the channels to the
first and second elements, and enter 0 to the third element.
For meas_type=1, 2, 10, or 16, up to ten measurement channels
can be set.
For meas_type=3, 4, 5, 9, 17, or 18, only one measurement
channel can be set.
For meas_type=14 or 15, set 0 (NULL pointer) instead of
channel [ ].
mode[ ] Measurement mode.
