Command Reference
Command Reference
BSSI
The BSSI command specifies and sets the synchronous current source for the binary
search measurement. The synchronous source output will be:
Synchronous source output = polarity × BSI source output + offset
where BSI source output means the output set by the BSI command.
This command setting is cleared by the BSV/BSI command.
Execution
Conditions
The BSI command must be sent before sending this command.
Syntax BSSI chnum,polarity,offset[,Vcomp]
Parameters chnum : Synchronous 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.
polarity : Polarity of the BSSI output for the BSI output.
0: Negative. BSSI output = −BSI output + offset
1: Positive. BSSI output = BSI output + offset
offset : Offset current (in A). Numeric expression.
0 to ±0.1, 0 to ±0.2 for E5291A, or 0 to ±1 for E5280B/E5290A
Both primary and synchronous search sources will use the same output
range. So check the output range set to the BSI command to determine
the synchronous source outputs.
Vcomp : Voltage compliance value (in V). Numeric expression. If you do not
specify Vcomp, the previous value is set.
Example
Statements
OUTPUT @E5270;"BSSI 1,0,1E-6,10"
See Also Refer to Table 4-7 on page 4-15 for the source output value, output range, and the
available compliance values.
