:PAGE:MEASure:QSCV:VAR1:STEP
This command sets the VAR1 sweep step value for Quasi-static CV measurements.
This command also has a query form.
At *RST, this value is set to 0.1.

Parameter
Query response step <newline><^END>
step is an NR3 response data type.
Remarks 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 ± capacitance measurement voltage.
The number of sweep steps is calculated from the equation (fractions below decimal
point are rounded down): |start-stop| / |step| -1. You must set the start, stop, and
step values so that the number of sweep steps value is in the range: 1 to 1001. If the
calculation result is 0, the value is automatically set to 1. Then the measurement unit
executes a one-point capacitance measurement between the start and stop values.

Parameter Type Explanation
step numeric VAR1 sweep step value. –400 to 400 V. The range
of this value depends on the type of VAR1 unit
being used. The minimum value is double the
resolution value of the output range.
