Parameters common to PMU operation modes
The following parameters are common to all PMU operation modes except DC Gnd. Brief
descriptions are provided here. 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
Disable Outputs at Completion (on
When a test is complete, you can disable the outputs or leave them
Current Spot Mean High (on page 6-
72)
Makes current measurements on the amplitude. Available when the Test
Mode is set to Pulse I-V.
Current Spot Mean Low (on page 6-
72)
Makes current measurements on the base level. Available when the Test
Mode is set to Pulse IV.
Measure Current Range (on page 6-
73)
The measure range determines the full-scale measurement span that is
applied to the signal.
Low Range (on page 6-44)
Available when the Measure Range is set to Limited Auto. This sets the
minimum range that the instrument uses.
Current Sample Waveform (on page
6-75)
Makes current measurements on the waveform. Available when the Test
Mode is set to Waveform Capture.
Voltage Spot Mean High (on page 6-
74)
Makes voltage measurements on the amplitude. Available when the Test
Mode is set to Pulse IV.
Voltage Spot Mean Low (on page 6-
74)
Makes voltage measurements on the base level. Available when the Test
Mode is set to Pulse IV.
Voltage Sample Waveform (on page
6-75)
Makes voltage measurements on the waveform. Available when the Test
Mode is set to Waveform Capture.
Report Timestamps (on page 6-75)
Available when the Test Mode is set to Waveform Capture. When Report
Timestamps is enabled, each measurement includes a timestamp and the
waveform is graphed (voltage/current versus time) in the Analyze graph.
Report Status (on page 6-75)
When this option is selected, Clarius records measurement status
information when the test executes. A column of the Analyze spreadsheet
displays this information. Hover over a cell to review the information. For
PMU measurements, this information is also available as a 32-bit word. The
status code bit map is listed in pulse_fetch (on page 13-101).
Compensation Short Connection (on
page 6-79)
Use to enable or disable short connection compensation. Refer to PMU
connection compensation (on page 5-30) for detail on setting up and using
Compensation Load Line Effect (on
page 6-79)
Use to enable or disable load-line effect compensation (LLEC). Refer to
Load-line effect compensation (LLEC) for the PMU (on page 5-34) for detail
on setting up and using load-line effect compensation.
Compensation DUT Resistance (on
page 6-79)
The DUT resistance value. Refer to DUT resistance determines pulse
voltage across DUT (on page 5-61) for detail on calculating DUT resistance.
Max Voltage Estimator (on page 6-
79)
Only available in the Advanced Terminal Settings dialog box. The Maximum
Voltage Estimator is a tool that enables you to calculate the maximum
voltage and current based on the selected voltage range and the DUT
resistance value you type in. The estimator does not affect the pulse output.
Voltage Threshold (on page 6-79)
The voltage threshold allows you to set a voltage threshold. If the threshold
is reached or exceeded, the present sweep is stopped. Testing continues
with any subsequent sweeps.
Current Threshold (on page 6-79)
The current threshold allows you to set a threshold. If the threshold is
reached or exceeded, the present sweep is stopped. Testing continues with
any subsequent sweeps.
Power Threshold (on page 6-80)
The power threshold allows you to set a power threshold. If the threshold is
reached or exceeded, the present sweep is stopped. Testing continues with
