Line Description
72 to 91 Measures MOSFET Id-Vd characteristics.
74 to 75 Sets the pulsed source and the voltage sweep source.
57 Performs the staircase sweep with pulsed bias measurement.
82 to 88 Disables all ports and stops the program execution if the number of returned data is
not equal to the nop1 value.
90 Sets the specified port to the zero output state.
76, 78, 86, and 91 Calls the check_err subprogram (shown in Table 3-1) to check if an error status is
returned for the previous line.
93 Calls the save_data subprogram (next page) to save measurement data.
96 End of the sweep_meas subprogram.
