How to measure Varistor Alpha with 2470?

Hi, my laboratory just added a 2470 SourceMeter but we can't figure out how to measure Varistor Alpha with it. Does anyone know how to do it? Thank you!

Hi Andrea, thank you for the answer. Currently im trying to make a script on TSB but I'm not a programmer myself so I'm having a little bit of trouble. I managed to write a code that can measure a voltage value on 1mA and another voltage value on 10mA. These voltage values are stored on 2 different buffers. Is there any way I can make a mathematical expression using values from 2 different buffers?


This is my code as of now:
-- Reset the instrument, which also clears the buffer.
reset()

--PRIMER VALOR DE VOLTAJE (1mA)
miliampx = buffer.make(10, buffer.STYLE_FULL)
-- Set up the source function.
smu.source.func = smu.FUNC_DC_CURRENT
smu.source.vlimit.level = 1100
smu.source.level = 1e-3
-- Set up measure function.
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE
smu.measure.terminals = smu.TERMINALS_FRONT
smu.measure.autorange = smu.ON
smu.measure.nplc = 1
-- Turn on the output and initiate readings.
trigger.model.load("DurationLoop", 1, 1, miliampx )
trigger.model.initiate()
-- Wait for the trigger model to complete.
waitcomplete()
smu.source.output = smu.OFF
-- Math?.
buffer.math(miliampx, buffer.UNIT_NONE, buffer.EXPR_LOG10)
for x = 1,1 do
print("Reading: ", smu.measure.read(miliampx))
end



--SEGUNDO VALOR DE VOLTAJE (10mA)
miliampy = buffer.make(10, buffer.STYLE_FULL)
-- Set up the source function.
smu.source.func = smu.FUNC_DC_CURRENT
smu.source.vlimit.level = 1100
smu.source.level = 10e-3
-- Set up measure function.
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE
smu.measure.terminals = smu.TERMINALS_FRONT
smu.measure.autorange = smu.ON
smu.measure.nplc = 1
-- Turn on the output and initiate readings.
trigger.model.load("DurationLoop", 1, 1, miliampy)
trigger.model.initiate()
-- Wait for the trigger model to complete.
waitcomplete()
smu.source.output = smu.OFF
-- Math?.
buffer.math(miliampy, buffer.UNIT_NONE, buffer.EXPR_LOG10)
for y = 1,1 do
print("Reading: ", smu.measure.read(miliampy))

end


alpha = (1/(miliampy[1]/miliampx[1]))

print(alpha)
 

Basically what I'm trying to get is to show the alpha value on the screen, but I can't even make the print function to work.

check out the display.text commands
There are two lines available to you.

elapsedTime = some computed value
display.changescreen(display.SCREEN_USER_SWIPE)
display.settext(display.TEXT1, "Test pass")
display.settext(display.TEXT2, string.format("Time elapsed: %.0f sec" , elapsedTime))

Thank you for the answer! We managed to make it work!
