Figure 47: DC and pulsed linear staircase sweeps
DC and pulsed logarithmic staircase sweeps: In this type of sweep, the current or voltage
increases or decreases geometrically, beginning with a start voltage or current and ending with a stop
voltage or current. The figure below shows an increasing logarithmic staircase sweep and a pulsed
logarithmic staircase sweep. Pulsed logarithmic staircase sweeps function the same way that dc
logarithmic staircase sweeps function, except that pulsed logarithmic staircase sweeps return to the
idle level between pulses.
Figure 48: DC and pulsed logarithmic staircase sweeps
DC and pulsed list sweeps: The list sweep allows you to program arbitrary sweep steps anywhere
within the output voltage or current range of the 2606B. The following figure shows a list sweep with
arbitrary steps and a pulsed list sweep. Pulsed list sweeps function the same way that dc list sweeps
function, except that pulsed list sweeps return to the idle level between pulses.
