Points; Base; Amplitude; Dual Sweep (Pulse) - Keithley 4200A-SCS User Manual

Model 4200A-SCS Pulse Card (PGU and PMU) User's Manual
For example, if Start = 0 V, Stop = 5 V, and Step = 0.6 V:
In this case, the Step value is forced to 0.625 V, which results in a point value of 9.333, which is
rounded to 9. The instrument forces nine voltages at 0 V, 0.625 V, 1.25 V, 1.875 V, 2.5 V, 3.125 V,
3.75 V, 4.375 V, and 5 V.

Points

The number of points that are measured. This value is calculated by Clarius using the information
entered for the Start, Stop, and Step parameters, using the equation:

Base

The voltage offset (from 0 V) that is the reference for the pulse amplitude.

Amplitude

The amplitude voltage.

Dual Sweep (pulse)

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.
The amplitude, base, and dc sweeps have an option for Dual Sweep. The figure below shows the
difference between a single pulse sweep and a dual pulse sweep. This figure illustrates a linear
voltage sweep; 0 V to 4 V in 1 V steps.
