Hi,

I have a 4200 with 2 smus connected to 4225 rpms. I wanted to perform some IV measurements (send voltage and measure current) by sending arbitrary waveform which is in ~ KHz frequency. 
Using Kpulse I'm able to load the waveform (Which I have in a text file) and create .kaf file, but here I'm struggling to create a .ksf file which can be loaded to segment arb feature of Clarius.

Also, in Clarius program is there a feature to perform an arbitrary list sweep using pulse point from a file at some particular frequency. The Seg arb in examples has two predefined patterns which can't be changed. (or I didn't got an option to change them.)

please help me in regards.

For PMU, there are three modes:
two level pulsing (base and amplitude)
SegArb
FullArb

The FullArb has no measurements;  it is sourcing only.
The KPULSE utility is accessing the FullArb to play sine waves, etc.

If you want IV measurements AND doing sine wave, you'd have to build it up from a piece wise segments in a SegArb sequence/waveform.

Check out the pmu-dut-examples project and the pmu-segarb-complete test.
It is using the PMU_SegArb_ExampleFull user module of PMU_examples_ulib.
So long as you observe the rules for sequence defining, you can enter any SegArb that you desire on this.

I suggest you contact your sales office/local applications engineer to get some detail on PMU.

Hi Andrea,
Thanks for the understanding the problem and prompt reply.
I checked the PMU_examples_ulib and found the SegArb example you were talking about. This can solve my problem exactly by the only complication is, here I have to may a waveform having more than 1K sweep points. This seems to much time consuming if I have to put each datapoint manually. So I was hoping some way by which I can give the whole file containing seep points at once. This I can find in KPulse. But I want to know how this Kpulse waveform can be imported to SegArb. (probably this can be imported in FullArb but how to do it in seg arb?)

Thanks alot
