BSI
The BSI command specifies and sets the current search source for the binary search
measurement. This command setting is cleared by the BSV command. After search
stops, the search channel forces the value specified by the BSM command.
Syntax BSI chnum,range,start,stop[,Vcomp]
Parameters chnum : Search 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 : Output ranging type. 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 4-5 on page 4-13.
start, stop : Search start or stop current (in A). Numeric expression. See Table 4-7
on page 4-15. The start and stop must have different values.
0 to ±0.1, 0 to ±0.2 for E5291A, or 0 to ±1 for E5280B/E5290A
Vcomp : Voltage compliance value (in V). Numeric expression. See Table 4-7 on
page 4-15. If you do not specify Vcomp, the previous value is set.
