Parameter Description
AC Measure I Range (on page 6-60)
The measure range determines the full-scale measurement span that is
applied to the signal.
DC Source V (on page 6-60)
Selects the terminal to use to source DC drive voltage.
DC Offset (on page 6-60)
Allows you offset the voltage by up to ±30 V on one terminal. For example,
this allows you to output voltage from 0 V to 60 V instead of −30 V to +30 V.
Capacitance Range Estimator (on
page 6-61)
The Capacitance Range Estimator automatically calculates the maximum
capacitance value based on the parameter settings in the Advanced setting
s
dialog box.
Voltage Linear Sweep operation mode - CVU
When you select the Voltage Linear Sweep operation mode, the test increments through a series of
constant voltage steps. You define the start and stop voltages and the voltage size between each
step. An example is shown in the next figure.
Figure 236: Example linear sweep
The voltage sweep generates parametric curve data that is recorded in the Analyze pane.
The parameters that are available for this mode are briefly described in the following table. Select the
links to access additional information. The parameters are listed in the order in which they appear in
the All Parameters pane.
Parameter Description
Presoak (on page 6-55)
Type a presoak voltage of −30 V to +30 V.
Start (on page 6-55) The voltage source level at which the sweep starts.
Stop (on page 6-55)
The voltage source level at which the sweep stops.
Step (on page 6-36)
The voltage size of each step of the sweep. The source level changes in
equal steps of this size from the start level to the stop level. A measurement
is made at each source step (including the start and stop levels).
Points (on page 6-38)
The number of data points that will be measured. This value is calculated by
Clarius using the information entered for the Start, Stop, and Step
parameters
