:PAGE:MEASure:QSCV:VAR1:STARt
This command sets the VAR1 sweep start value for Quasi-static CV measurements.
The sweep source forces the start voltage when starting the sweep output. This
command also has a query form.
At *RST, this value is set to 0.

Parameter Type
start numeric
start <newline><^END>
start is an NR3 response data type.
In the QSCV measurement, the measurement unit executes the capacitance
measurement for the sweep steps except for the sweep start voltage and stop voltage.
At each sweep step, the capacitance measurement is executed over the voltage
range: output voltage ± capacitance measurement voltage.
The number of sweep steps is calculated from the equation (fractions below decimal
point are rounded down): |start-stop| / |step| -1. You must set the start, stop, and
step values so that the number of sweep steps value is in the range: 1 to 1001. If the
calculation result is 0, the value is automatically set to 1. Then the measurement unit
executes a one-point capacitance measurement between the start and stop values.

Explanation
VAR1 sweep start value. –200 to 200 V. The
range of this value depends on the type of VAR1
unit being used.
