Applicable Models: M937xA, M9485A, P937xA (Read-Write) Sets and reads the range (in Amps) used for sensing current, which must be higher than the maximum current you expect to measure. This command is available for PXI SMU only. This is the same function with “IKtM911xMeasurement Interface” section, “SenseCurrentRange” property of the M911x driver. |
|
Parameters |
|
<ch> |
Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1. |
<name> |
String. DC Meter Name. "SMU*C” or “SMU*V” represents the SMU DC Meter name. “*” is the SMU module number. “C” means current measurement, “V” means voltage measurement. |
<num> |
Range in Amps (3, 0.001 or 0.0001) |

Applicable Models: M937xA, M9485A, P937xA (Read-Write) Sets and reads the trigger offset in the measurement sweep. A negative value specifies pre-trigger samples, and a positive value specifies post-trigger delay samples. This command is available for PXI SMU only. This is the same function with “IKtM911xMeasurementSweep Interface” section, “OffsetPoints” property of the M911x driver. |

Applicable Models: M937xA, M9485A, P937xA (Read-Write) Sets and reads the DC measurement number of sample counts per one point measurement. This command is available for both PXI SMU and Digital/Analog I/O M9341B. For PXI SMU, this is the same function with “IKtM911xMeasurementSweep Interface” section, “Points” property of the M911x driver. |

SENSe<ch>:DC:SAMPLes:POINTs? <name> |
Return Type |
Numeric |
3255 (SMU), 500 (M9341B) |
|
Applicable Models: M937xA, M9485A, P937xA (Read-Write) Sets and reads the DC measurement time per one point measurement . The value of SENSe:DC:SAMPles:POINts can be calculated by this value. This command allows you to have the same measurement time for different kind of modules whose sample rates are different. This command is available for both PXI SMU and Digital/Analog I/O M9341B. |
|
Parameters |
|
<ch> |
Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1. |
<name> |
String. DC Meter Name. [SMU] "SMU*C” or “SMU*V” represents the SMU DC Meter name. “*” is the SMU module number. “C” means current measurement, “V” means voltage measurement. [M9341B] "AI1", "AI2", "AI3", "AI4", "AOC1" or" AOC2", |
<num> |
Measurement time in seconds [SMU] M9111A sample time is 5.12usec per point. [M9341B] Only one value can be set for one M9341B module. It sample time is 20 nsec per point. |
