smuX.trigger.endpulse
smuX.trigger.autoclear
X = SMU channel (a or b)
Attribute Enable automatic clearing of the event detectors.
Default smuX.DISABLE
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage autoclear = smuX.trigger.autoclear
smuX.trigger.autoclear = autoclear
autoclear Auto clear setting.
Remarks • This attribute is used to enable or disable automatic clearing of the trigger model state machine
event detectors when the SMU transitions from the arm layer to the trigger layer. autoclear
can be set to one of the following values:
smuX.DISABLE: Do not clear the event detectors.
smuX.ENABLE: Clear the event detectors when transitioning from the arm layer to the trigger
layer.
• Only the detected state of the event detectors will be cleared.
• The overrun status of the event detectors are not automatically cleared when the SMU
transitions from the arm layer to the trigger layer.
• The event detectors are always cleared when a sweep is initiated.
smuX.trigger.count
X = SMU channel (a or b)
Attribute Sets the trigger count in a trigger model.
Default 1
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage count = smuX.trigger.count
smuX.trigger.count = count
count The trigger count.
Remarks • During a sweep, the SMU will iterate through the trigger layer of the trigger model this many
times. After performing this many iterations, SMU will return to the arm layer.
• If this count is set to zero, the SMU will stay in the trigger model indefinitely (or until aborted).
• The reset value for this attribute is 1.
smuX.trigger.endpulse.action
X = SMU channel (a or b)
Attribute Enables or disables pulse mode sweeps.
Default smuX.SOURCE_HOLD
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage pulseaction = smuX.trigger.endpulse.action -- Reads pulse mode setting.
smuX.trigger.endpulse.action = pulseaction -- Writes pulse mode setting.
pulseaction The pulse mode setting.
Remarks • pulseaction can be set to one of the following values:
smuX.SOURCE_HOLD Disables pulse mode sweep (holds source level for remainder of step).
smuX.SOURCE_IDLE Enables pulse mode sweep. Sets the source level to the programmed
(idle) level at the end of the pulse.
