<function>
The source function:
• Voltage pulse sweep: VOLTage
• Current pulse sweep:
CURRent
<pulseWidth>
The time at the amplitude level for each pulse:
• Extended operating area: 10 A at 100 V, 5 % duty cycle, maximum pulse
width: 1 ms, minimum pulse width 150 µs (load dependent)
• Normal operating area (DC): 99.99 % duty cycle, maximum pulse width
10,000 s, minimum pulse width 150 µs
<measEnable>
Enable or disable measurements at the top of each pulse:
• Enable: ON (default)
•
Disable: OFF
<bufferName>
A string that indicates the reading buffer; the default buffers (defbuffer1 or
defbuffer2) or the name of a user-defined buffer; if no buffer is specified,
defbuffer1 is used
<startIndex>
The index in the configuration list where the pulse sweep starts; default is 1
<count>
The number of pulse sweeps; default is
1
:
• Infinite loop: 0
•
Finite loop: 1 to 268435455
<delay>
The amount of time that the instrument stays at bias level before each pulse (in
seconds): 0 to 10,000 s
<offTime>
The amount of time that the instrument stays at bias level after each pulse (in
seconds): 0 to 10,000 s
<failAbort>
Determines if the sweep is stopped immediately if a limit is exceeded; options are:
• Abort the sweep if the source bias or pulse limit is exceeded: ON
•
Complete the sweep if the source limit is exceeded: OFF
<configlistName>
The name of the source configuration list that the sweep uses; this must be defined
before sending this command
