Overhead Time

Overhead time is the time required for range change, etc. This time depends on
the measurement condition, and cannot be specified. A major element of the
overhead time is range change time during measurement (when measurement
ranging mode is set to AUTO).

To Control Source/Measure Timing (B2985B/B2987B)

The voltage source output and measurement timing can be controlled by the
following parameters. See
output. For a bias output, focus the shape of a sweep step only.
1. Source delay
2. Measure delay
3. Period
208
The source delay time is defined as the time from trigger to start of a voltage
source output.
The measurement delay time is defined as the time from trigger to start of a
measurement.
The period is the trigger interval. It can be defined for the TIMER or MANUAL
trigger type (trigger source) and for the voltage source output and
measurement actions individually.
