5-4 Sweep Operation Series 2600 System SourceMeters Reference Manual
The sweep can be either positive-going or negative-going, depending on the
relative values of the start and stop parameters.
When this sweep starts, the output will go to the start source level. The output will
then change in equal steps until the stop level is reached. The delay parameter
determines the time duration before the measurement at each sweep step.

Linear staircase sweep
Logarithmic staircase sweeps
This sweep is similar to the linear staircase sweep. The steps, however, are done
on a logarithmic scale as shown in the example sweep in Figure 5-3. This
example is a 5-point log sweep from 1V to 10V. The sweep can be either positive-
going or negative-going depending on relative start and stop parameter values.
