The source function:
•
CURRent
•
VOLTage
The voltage or current source level at which the sweep starts:
Current: 1 µA to 7.35 A
•
Voltage: 200 mV to 105 V
•
The voltage or current at which the sweep stops:
Current: 1 µA to 7.35 A
•
Voltage: 200 mV to 105 V
•
The number of source-measure points between the start and stop values of the
sweep (2 to 1e6); to calculate the number of source-measure points in a sweep, use
the following formula:
Points = [(Stop - Start) / Step] + 1
The delay between measurement points; default is -1, which enables autodelay, or
a specific delay value from 50 µs to 10,000 s, or 0 for no delay
The number of times to run the sweep; default is 1:
Infinite loop: 0
•
Finite loop: 1 to 268435455
•
The source range that is used for the sweep:
Most sensitive source range for each source level in the sweep: AUTO
•
Best fixed range: BEST (default)
•
Present source range for the entire sweep: FIXed
•
Abort the sweep if the source limit is exceeded: ON (default)
Complete the sweep if the source limit is exceeded: OFF
Determines if the sweep runs from start to stop and then from stop to start:
Sweep from start to stop only: OFF (default)
•
Sweep from start to stop, then stop to start: ON
•
