:PAGE:MEASure:QSCV:VAR1:CSTEp
:PAGE:MEASure:QSCV:VAR1:CSTEp
This command sets the capacitance measurement voltage for Quasi-static CV
measurements. This command also has a query form.
At *RST, this value is set to 0.1.
Syntax :PAGE:MEASure:QSCV:VAR1:CSTEp cstep | MINimum | MAXimum

Parameter In the QSCV measurement, the measurement unit executes the capacitance
measurement for the sweep steps except for the sweep start voltage and stop voltage.
At each sweep step, the capacitance measurement is executed over the voltage
range: output voltage ± cstep.
The value must be £ |step| (sweep step voltage). If you set the value greater than
|step|, the cstep is automatically set to the same value as |step|.
If you set the value greater than or equal to |stop-start|, the measurement unit
executes a one-point capacitance measurement between the start and stop values.
Query response cstep <newline><^END>
cstep is an NR3 response data type.
Remarks If you set the sweep start, stop, step, and cstep values as shown below, the
capacitance measurement is executed over the following voltage ranges:
start=0, stop=4, step=1 (number of sweep steps=3), cstep=1
measurement voltage at the 1st sweep step: 0.5 to 1.5 V
measurement voltage at the 2nd sweep step: 1.5 to 2.5 V
measurement voltage at the 3rd sweep step: 2.5 to 3.5 V

Parameter Type Explanation
cstep numeric Capacitance measurement voltage. The minimum
value is double the resolution value of the output
range, and the maximum value is 10 V.
