DC and pulsed list sweeps: The list sweep allows you to program arbitrary sweep steps anywhere
within the output voltage or current range of the 2601B-PULSE. The following figure shows a list
sweep with arbitrary steps and a pulsed list sweep. Pulsed list sweeps function the same way that DC
list sweeps function, except that pulsed list sweeps return to the idle level between pulses.
Figure 59: DC and pulsed list sweeps
The 2601B-PULSE can generate DC and pulsed sweeps to perform source-only sweeps,
source-and-measure sweeps, or measure-only sweeps. Three of the sweep types are described in
the following: DC and pulsed linear staircase sweeps, DC and pulsed logarithmic staircase sweeps,
and DC and pulsed list sweeps.
DC and pulsed linear staircase sweeps: With this type of sweep, the voltage or current increases
or decreases in fixed steps, beginning with a start voltage or current and ending with a stop voltage or
current. The figure below shows an increasing linear staircase sweep and a pulsed staircase sweep.
Pulsed linear staircase sweeps function the same way that DC linear staircase sweeps function,
except that pulsed linear staircase sweeps return to the idle level between pulses.
