4.2.4.4 Source range
1. Source range
• The source values (pulse values) for the DC source or pulse source mode are output in the
displayed range.
• The ranges of the bias, base, start and stop values for the sweep source mode are decided
depending on whether the sweep range is set to Auto or Fix as below regardless of the setting
values or displayed values.
Set the sweep range by selecting the parameters 2) Sweep Mode and 2) Sweep Range in the
menu.
2. Range to be set when the sweep range is Auto
3. Ranging during sweep
The period time may be extended if a range change occurs while sweeping.
For more information on the sweep operation in this case, see Table 4-4, “Operations in DC Sweep
Source Mode” or Table 4-5, “Operations in Pulse Sweep Source Mode.”
Sweep range setting Range
Auto Sets every setting value to the optimum range so the
number of enabled digits is the largest.
If any of the setting values is set to a different range,
the range changes during the sweep.
Fix Fixes to the maximum range that can output all
setting values including source values.
The range is not changed while sweeping.
