Description
The voltage source level at which the sweep starts.
The voltage source level at which the sweep stops.
The number of data points that the sweep will generate. Clarius uses the
start, stop, and data points to calculate the step size and forcing values.
When you select Dual Sweep, the instrument sweeps from start to stop,
then from stop to start. When you clear Dual Sweep, the instrument sweeps
from start to stop only.
(on The SMU range that is used when forcing the voltage.
A limit that stops the 4200A-SCS from sourcing a current that is more than
that limit.
(on page 6-41) The delay between when SMUs are powered on in a test sequence.
Pulse Mode allows you to apply voltage or current to a device for brief
periods at widely spaced intervals. This avoids device overheating in some
tests. Pulse Mode is only available if the source range and measure ranges
are set to a fixed range or the Best Fixed range.
Available when Pulse Mode is selected. The amount of time that the pulse is
on (5 ms to 20 s).
Available when Pulse Mode is selected. The amount of time that the pulse is
off (5 ms to 20 s).
(on page 6-43) Available when Pulse Mode is selected. The voltage level that the
instrument sources when the pulse output is off. The level that you can set
depends on the present source range.
(on page 6- A limit that restricts the maximum voltage level that the instrument can
source. It is in effect when either current or voltage is sourced.
(on page 6-44)
When this box is selected, the instrument measures current. Current is
recorded in the Analyze sheet and shown in the graph.
(on page 6- The name of the current measurement. This is the name that Clarius
displays in the Analyze spreadsheet column for that measurement.
(on page 6-45) The measure range determines the full-scale measurement span that is
applied to the signal.
Available when the Measure Range is set to Limited Auto. This sets the
minimum range that the instrument uses.
(on page Determines if voltage values are recorded in the Analyze spreadsheet.
Determines if programmed voltage values or actual measured voltage
(on page 6-46) values are recorded in the Analyze spreadsheet.
(on page 6- The name of the voltage measurement. This is the name that Clarius
displays in the Analyze spreadsheet column for that measurement.
(on page 6-46)
When this option is selected, Clarius records measurement status
information when the test executes. A column of the Analyze spreadsheet
displays this information. Hover over a cell to review the information.
