9-2 Stepping and Scanning

• Step/Scan overview — Summarizes the stepping and scanning operations.

• Front panel trigger models — Uses the trigger model to illustrate how stepping and

scanning operates.

• Stepping/Scanning controls — Covers the front panel keys used to conﬁgure and

control stepping/scanning.

• Stepping/Scanning examples — Provides examples for internal stepping and scanning,

and external scanning.

• SCPI programming — Covers the SCPI commands used for stepping and scanning.

• Application — Uses internal scanning to produce an I-V curve for a DUT.
