Line
2 Defines the file name used for saving the result data.
4 Resets the B2961B/B2962B.
6 to 14 Sets the exponential wave output voltage from 0 V to 5 V and the time parameters. See
Figure 1-1
16 to 19 Sets the voltage measurement function. And sets the aperture time to 0.1 PLC and the current
limit (compliance) value to 0.1 A.
22 to 23 Sets the transient trigger. Source output will be triggered once.
24 to 26 Sets the acquire trigger. Output monitor will be triggered 100 times in 10 ms interval.
