Command Reference
BDV
The BDV command specifies the quasi-pulsed voltage source and its parameters.
Syntax
BDV chnum,range,start,stop[,Icomp]
Parameters chnum : Source channel number. The value must be slot number where the
module has been installed. Integer expression. 1 to 8 (1 and 5 are not
available for HPSMU). See
Table 4-1 on page 4-9.
range : Ranging type for quasi-pulsed source. Integer expression. The output
range will be set to the minimum range that covers both start and stop
values. For the limited auto ranging, the instrument never uses the
range less than the specified range. See
Table 4-4 on page 4-13.
start, stop : Start or stop voltage (in V). Numeric expression. See Table 4-6 on
page 4-14.
0 to ±100, or 0 to ±200 for E5280B/E5290A
|start - stop| must be 10 V or more.
Icomp : Current compliance (in A). Numeric expression. See Table 4-6 on page
4-14.
If you do not set Icomp, the previous value is used.
The compliance polarity is automatically set to the same polarity as the
stop value, regardless of the specified Icomp value. If stop=0, the
polarity is positive.
Remarks The time forcing the stop value will be approximately 1.5 ms to 1.8 ms with the
following settings:
• BDM, BDT command parameters: interval=0, mode=0, delay=0
• AV or AAD/AIT command parameters: initial setting
