Math programming example

Table 8-4

summarizes the basic command sequence for voltage coefficient testing, which
is a change in resistance of resistive elements with applied voltage. Although such changes
in resistance with voltage are present in virtually all resistors to at least some degree, volt-
age coefficients are most noticeable in high-value resistors (>10
DUT connections.
This example sets up the SourceMeter as follows:
• Source function: volts
• Sense functions: all
• Source Delay: 1sec
• Start voltage: 10V
• Stop voltage: 50V
• Math Expression: voltage coefficient
