Command Reference
BDM
The BDM command specifies the settling detection interval and the measurement
mode; voltage or current, for the quasi-pulsed measurements.
Syntax BDM interval[,mode]
Parameters interval : Settling detection interval. Numeric expression.
0: Short. Initial setting.
1: Long. For measurements of the devices that have the stray
capacitance, or the measurements with the compliance less than 1 μA
mode : Measurement mode. Numeric expression.
0: Voltage measurement mode. Default setting.
1: Current measurement mode.
Remarks The following conditions must be true to perform the measurement successfully:
When interval=0: A > 1 V/ms and B ≤ 3 s
When interval=1: A > 0.1 V/ms and B ≤ 12 s
where A means the slew rate when source output sweep was started, and B means
the settling detection time. See
“Quasi-Pulsed Spot Measurements” on page 2-15.
These values depend on the conditions of cabling and device characteristics. And
you cannot specify the values directly.

BDT
The BDT command specifies the hold time and delay time for the quasi-pulsed
measurements.
Syntax BDT hold,delay
Parameters hold : Hold time (in sec). Numeric expression.
0 to 655.35 s, 0.01 s resolution. Initial setting is 0.
delay : Delay time (in sec). Numeric expression.
0 to 6.5535 s, 0.0001 s resolution. Initial setting is 0.
