Pulsed Sweep Measurements

Pulsed sweep measurement is performed as shown below. The source channel forces
pulsed sweep voltage or current, and the measurement channel performs one point
measurement at each sweep step.

1. The pulsed sweep source sets output by the PT, WM, and PWV or PWI
commands. Only one channel can be used for the pulsed sweep source.
2. The pulsed sweep source starts output by a trigger, such as the XE command.
3. After the hold time, the measurement channel starts measurement as shown in
Figure 2-6. The channel performs measurement so that the pulse width and pulse
period are kept (the integration time setting is ignored). Only one channel can be
used for measurement.
4. After measurement, the pulsed sweep source forces the pulse base value, and
waits for the rest of the pulse period. Then the pulsed sweep source changes the
output value.
5. The E5260/E5270 repeats 3 and 4 for all sweep steps.
6. After the pulsed sweep measurement, the pulsed sweep source forces the pulse
base value, and keeps it.
For 0 V output, enter the DZ command that is used to memorize the present
settings of the channel and change the output to 0 V.
