The PMU operation modes are described in the following sections.
Pulse Amplitude Sweep operation mode - PMU
The pulse amplitude sweep generates data that is recorded in the Analyze pane.
The parameters that are specific to this mode are briefly described in the following table. Select the
links to access additional information. Additional parameters are described in
PMU operation modes
the All Parameters pane.

Description
The voltage source level at which the sweep starts.
The voltage source level at which the sweep stops.
The voltage size of each step of the sweep. The source level changes in
equal steps of this size from the start level to the stop level. A measurement
is made at each source step (including the start and stop levels).
The number of data points that will be measured. This value is calculated by
Clarius using the information entered for the Start, Stop, and Step
parameters.
The voltage offset (from 0 V) that is the reference for the pulse amplitude.
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 page 6-71) The range that is used when sourcing. Select one of the listed ranges. The
source remains on the range that is set. If you are sweeping and a sweep
point exceeds the source range capability, the source outputs the maximum
level for that range. This range must be equal to or greater than the largest
value in the sweep.
