Front panel Pulse Mode sweep procedure

The procedure to perform a Pulse Mode sweep is summarized as follows:
NOTE The following procedure assumes that the Model 2430 is already connected to
the DUT as explained in
WARNING Hazardous voltages (>30V rms) can appear on the selected INPUT/
OUTPUT LO terminal when performing fast pulse sweep operations.
To eliminate this shock hazard, connect the LO terminal to earth
ground. If using the front panel terminals, ground the front panel LO
terminal. If using the rear panel terminals, ground the rear panel LO
terminal. The ground connection can be made at the chassis ground
screw on the rear panel or to a known safety earth ground.
Step 1: Select and configure pulse mode
Basic parameters for the Pulse Mode include pulse width, pulse delay, pulse measurement
speed, and pulse count. Refer to
Mode and set the pulse parameters.
Step 2: Set compliance limit, and select measurement function and range.
Configure the Model 2430 for these aspects of operation as explained in steps 1 through 3,
Section 3, "Basic source-measure
Note that the AUTO measurement range is not valid in the Pulse Mode. Make sure the
fixed measurement range that you select can accommodate every measurement point in
the sweep.
Step 3: Configure sweep.
Select and configure the sweep as explained in
Step 4: Run sweep.
To run the sweep, press the SWEEP key. After the last pulse in the sweep is sourced, the
output will turn off and stay off. A sweep that is in progress can be stopped at any time by
pressing the ON/OFF OUTPUT key or the EXIT key.
Step 5: Read buffer.
Use the RECALL key to access the source-measure readings stored in the buffer. Use the
TOGGLE to display statistical information. (See
