Usage
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureI(smu, bias, level, limit, ton, toff, points, buffer,
tag, sync_in, sync_out, sync_in_timeout, sync_in_abort)
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureI(smu, bias, level, limit, ton, toff, points, buffer,
tag, sync_in, sync_out, sync_in_timeout)
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureI(smu, bias, level, limit, ton, toff, points, buffer,
tag, sync_in, sync_out)
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureI(smu, bias, level, limit, ton, toff, points, buffer,
tag, sync_in)
f, msg = ConfigPulseVMeasureI(smu, bias, level, limit, ton, toff, points, buffer,
tag)
A Boolean flag; this flag is true when the pulse was successfully configured, false when
errors were encountered
A string message; if the f flag is false, msg contains an error message; if it is true, msg
contains a string indicating successful configuration

instrument channel (for example,
refers to SMU channel A)
Pulse level in volts
Current limit (for example, compliance) in amperes
Pulse on time in seconds
Pulse off time in seconds
Number of pulse-measure cycles
Reading buffer where pulsed measurements will be stored; if this is nil when the function is
called, no measurements will be made when the pulse train is initiated
Numeric identifier to be assigned to the defined pulse train
Defines a digital I/O trigger input line; if programmed, the pulse train waits for a trigger input
before executing each pulse
Defines a digital I/O trigger output line; if programmed, the pulse train generates a trigger
output immediately before the start of
Specifies the length of time (in seconds) to wait for input trigger; default value is 10 s
Specifies whether or not to abort pulse if input trigger is not received; if pulse aborts because
of a missed trigger, a timer timeout message is returned; true or false
Details
Data for pulsed current measurements are stored in the reading buffer specified by the buffer input
parameter.
This function configures a voltage pulse train with a current measurement at each point.
Measurements are made at the end of the ton time.
This function does not cause the specified smu to output a pulse train. It does check to see if all the
pulse dimensions can be achieved, and if they can, assigns the indicated tag or index to the pulse
train.The InitiatePulseTest(tag) and InitiatePulseTestDual(tag1, tag2) functions are
used to initiate a pulse train assigned to a valid tag.
