NOTE
About Search Measurements
The E5260/E5270 supports search measurement to find a point on an I-V curve
where a specified condition is satisfied. For example, it searches for a breakdown
voltage or threshold voltage at a specified current.
Search measurements are performed by one or two SMUs. For two SMUs, one is the
search channel, and the other is a sense channel. When one SMU is used, it serves as
both search and sense channel.
Basically, the search channel forces voltage or current until the search stop condition
is satisfied.
