Multi-Channel Sweep Measurements
Multi-Channel Sweep Measurements
This section explains an example subprogram that performs multi channel sweep
measurement. The following subprogram performs I-V measurement and saves the
measurement results (bipolar transistor Ic-Vb and Ib-Vb characteristics) into a file.
