Define the pulse train test parameters
The following pulse parameters, which define the magnitude and timing of the pulse train, will be
entered into the pulse command to generate the configuration list and trigger model necessary for the
pulses. The actual values for these test parameters will vary depending on your specific application.
Test parameter
Value
Definition
configListName
myPulses
Sets the name of the configuration list containing the pulse
values created by the pulse command.
bias_level
0 A
Sets the offset current of the pulse train.
pulse_level
10 A
Sets the amplitude current of each pulse from zero (not
from the bias level).
pulse_width
1 ms
Sets the time at the amplitude level for each pulse.
measureEnable
smu.ON
Enables digitizer measurements.
bufferName
defbuffer1
Sets the buffer in which the measurement data will be
stored.
delay
10 ms
Sets delay before each pulse.
offTime
19 ms
Sets the time at the bias level.
count
1
Sets the number of pulses in a train.
xBiasLimit
2 V
Sets the voltage limit between pulses when the bias level
of the current is sourced.
xPulseLimit
21 V
Sets the voltage limit during the pulse when the pulse level
of current is sourced.
failAbort
smu.OFF
Abort the pulse train if bias or pulse source limit is
exceeded.
