Sweeping using factory scripts
Factory script functions that perform linear staircase, logarithmic staircase, and list sweeps are
described in Factory scripts (on page 7-20). You can use the factory script functions to execute
simple sweeps or use them as examples for programming your own custom sweeps.
To run a sweep from the front panel:
1. Press the LOAD key, and then select FACTORY.
2. Select the name of the test to run.
3. Press the RUN key. Follow the display prompts to complete the test.
See Factory scripts (on page 7-20) for more information about using factory scripts.
Press the RECALL key to access sweep data stored in dedicated reading buffer 1. See Reading
buffers (on page 3-1) for more details about the buffer.
Sweep programming examples
The following topics provide procedures for programming and running a sweep. Each of these
procedures includes commands for a typical sweep example. The following table summarizes
parameters for each of these examples.
You can retrieve the source code for the factory scripts by using the scriptVar.list() (on page 9-185)
or scriptVar.source (on page 9-189) commands.
