Usage
mDelay = smuX.measure.delay
smuX.measure.delay = mDelay
Set to the measurement delay value in seconds (for example, to specify an
additional 10 ms measurement delay, set the value to 0.010)
You can also set it one of the following values:
0 or smuX.DELAY_OFF: No delay
X
.DELAY_AUTO: Automatic delay value
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua.measure.delay applies
to SMU channel A)
Details
This attribute allows for additional delay (settling time) before taking a measurement. If you define the
value instead of using the automatic delay value, the delay you specified is used regardless of the
range.
The smuX.DELAY_AUTO setting causes a current range-dependent delay to be inserted when a
current measurement is requested. This happens when a current measurement command is
executed, when the measure action is being performed in a sweep, or after changing ranges during
an autoranged measurement.
If smuX.measure.count is greater than 1, the measurement delay is only inserted before the first
measurement.
Example
smua.measure.delay = 0.010
Sets a 10 ms measurement delay for SMU channel A.
