b. Output voltage slew rate becomes 1/2 of the rate when starting the settling
detection.
The condition b means that the quasi-pulse source applies the voltage close to the
measurement voltage.

channel Slot number of the slot that installs the SMU to be used. See
Table 2-2.
range Voltage output ranging mode. 0 (auto) or positive value (limited
auto). For the available values, see Table 2-3 and Table 2-4.
start, voltage Start voltage and measurement voltage (in V). See Table 2-4.
Difference between start and voltage must be 10 V or more.

agb1500_setIv
This function specifies staircase sweep source and sets the parameters. The sweep
source is used for the staircase sweep measurements and the staircase sweep with
pulsed bias measurements.
For the staircase sweep with pulsed bias measurements, the sweep output
synchronizes with the pulse output by the agb1500_setPbias function.
