Parameter Sweep Plugin Parameters
Measurement Setup
The measurement setup includes the following acquisition parameters:
• Analyzer - This parameter lists all available Data In locations that are
used for data acquisition.
• Sweep Location - This parameter sets the location/location group
string against which the sweep property needs to be performed.
• Sweep Parameter – This parameter sets the sweep parameter to be
swept amongst the list of other parameters present in current location
or group.
• Sweep Mode - This parameter sets the sweep mode. The choices are
‘ABSolute’ and ‘RELative’.
• In the ‘ABSolute’ mode, the property will sweep from the value
specified in the ‘Sweep From’ parameter to a value specified in the
‘Sweep To’ parameter.
• In the ‘RELative’ mode, the property will be sweep from a value
relative to the current value specified in the ‘Sweep From’ parameter
to a value relative to the current value specified in the ‘Sweep To’
parameter.
• Sweep Relax Time - This parameter sets the relaxing time between the
sweep before reading the BER. The relaxing time can be between 0 sec
to 60 sec.
• Sweep From - This parameter sets the value from where the sweep
needs to be performed for that particular parameter.
• Sweep To - This parameter sets the value till the sweep needs to be
performed for that particular parameter.
• Steps - This parameter sets the value as for how many steps user
wants to sweep the parameter between the current “Sweep From” and
“Sweep To” range.
• Steps Accumulation End - This parameter sets the steps accumulation
end criteria to sweep. The choices are “No. of Bits” or “Pass/Fail”.
