Staircase Sweep Measurements - Keysight B2980 Series Programming Manual

Staircase Sweep Measurements

A program example of staircase sweep measurements is shown in Table 2-3. This
example is used to apply sweep voltage and measure current at each sweep step.
Staircase sweep measurements can be performed by using the following commands.
Function
Selects source function
Sets sweep output
Sets output range when starting sweep
Sets source output value
Sets sweep start or stop value
Sets sweep center or span value
Sets sweep step value
Sets number of sweep steps
Selects sweep source ranging mode
Selects sweep direction
Selects sweep single or double
Sets measurement function
Sets measurement range
Sets aperture time in seconds or by
using NPLC value
