Configuring pulse mode
With a valid forcing function selected, a SMU can be configured to provide pulse output.
Figure 2-13 explains how to use the pulse mode. The settings in the Forcing Functions / Measure
Options window shown in Figure 2-13 configures a voltage sweep. The pulse mode controls for
the other valid forcing functions are similar.

Pulse mode configuration (voltage sweep)
Basic test execution
Project navigator check boxes
As shown in Figure 2-14, each component of the project plan has a check box. A check mark in a
box indicates that the test or plan is enabled. The absence of a check mark indicates that the test
or plan is disabled. Clicking a check box either inserts a check mark to enable or removes a check
mark to disable. Only enabled (check marked) tests or plans can be run.
There is interaction between the project navigator check boxes and is explained by the
following actions:
Valid forcing functions for Pulse Mode:
• Voltage / Current Bias
• Voltage / Current Sweep (Linear /
Log and Dual Sweep)
• Voltage / Current List Sweep
Dual Sweep - A SMU can perform a dual
current sweep or a dual voltage sweep.
With Dual Sweep selected (3), the SMU
will sweep from Start to Stop, and then
sweep from Stop back to Start. When
disabled, the SMU will sweep from Start
to Stop.
Pulse Mode can be selected ONLY when
source and measure ranges are fixed. In
other words, Pulse Mode is disabled if the
source or measure range is set to AUTO.
Perform the following steps to select and
configure Pulse Mode:
1. Select (3) Pulse Mode, and set the On
Time, Off Time, and Base Voltage (or
Base Current for a current sweep).
2. Click OK.
