Waveforms: Describes the six avail-
able sweep waveforms.
2.19
Create
Sweep
List: Explains
how
to define sweep
parameters for a selected sweep waveform.
2.20
Append
Sweep:
Explains
how
to append one
or
more waveforms to
an
existing sweep waveform.
2.21

Unit
from external power sources.
2.27
Sink
Operation:
Explains
operation
when
the
Source Measure
Unit is dissipating power rather than
sourcing it.
2.28
Making
Stable
Measurements: Provides consid-
erations
and
techniques for making stable measurements
with single
and
multiple
Source
Measure
Unit test sys-
tems. Includes effects of reactive loads
on
performance.

ing thermal EMFs that can adversely affect low current
measurements.
2.33
Radio Frequency Interference: Explains radio fre-
quency interference
(RFI)
and
how
to minimize its ef-
fects.
2.34
Ground
Loops: Explains the adverse effects of
ground loops
and
how
to avoid them.
