Pulse width:
The width of a pulse (in seconds) is measured at full-width half-maximum (FWHM) as shown in
Pulse
width (on page 6-102). SweepType example:
PULSE_WIDTH_SP (stepping or sweeping): Start = 0.01 s, stop = 0.05 s,
step = 0.01 s
Pulse widths for pulse output sequence: 0.01 s, 0.02 s, 0.03 s, 0.04 s, and 0.05 s.
Dual Sweep:
The dual sweep allows for a voltage level sweep that goes up and down based on the voltage start
stop and step. For example, a voltage amplitude sweep from 0 V to 4 V in 1 V steps. A single sweep
(PULSE_AMPLITUDE_SP) would output 5 points: 0 V, 1 V, 2 V, 3 V, 4 V. A dual sweep version
(PULSE_DUAL_AMPLITUDE_SP) outputs 10 points: 0 V, 1 V, 2 V, 3 V, 4 V, 4 V, 3 V, 2 V, 1 V, 0 V.
See Dual Sweep Option (on page 6-71
) for a diagram of this example.
