the V-Source will be used, and with CURRent selected, the I-Source will be
used.
With MEMory selected, a memory sweep can be performed. Operating set-

This command is used to select the DC sourcing mode for the specified
source. The three modes are explained as follows:
FIXed — In this DC sourcing mode, the specified source will output a fixed
level. Use the :RANGe and :AMPLitude commands to specify the fixed
source level. See Select range and Set amplitude for fixed source.
LIST — In this mode, the source will output levels that are specified in a
list. See Configure list for commands to define and control the execution of
the list.
SWEep — In this mode, the source will perform a voltage, current or mem-
ory sweep. See Configure voltage and current sweeps and Configure mem-
ory sweep for commands to define the sweep.
