The most simple approach would be to calculate the current and divide with the applied bias.

You can do this by using calculateCurrent function in ATK 2008.10

See http://quantumwise.com/documents/manuals/ATK-2008.10/chap.litwoprobe.html#sect2.litwoprobe.conductance

Sometimes it makes sense to talk about the differential conductance too, that is dI/dV rather than I/V.
