ï‚§ CURRent
ï‚§
The voltage or current source level at which the sweep starts:
ï‚§ Current: 1 pA to 1.05 A
ï‚§ Voltage: 1 pV to 1100 V
The voltage or current at which the sweep stops:
ï‚§ Current: 1 pA to 1.05 A
ï‚§ Voltage: 1 pV to 1100 V
The number of source-measure points between the start and stop values of the
sweep (2 to 1e6); to calculate the number of source-
measure points in a sweep, use
the following formula:
Points = [(Stop - Start) / Step] + 1
The delay between measurement points; default is -1, which enables autodelay, or
a specific delay value from 50 μs to 10,000 s, or 0 for no delay
The number of times to run the sweep; default is 1:
ï‚§ Infinite loop: 0
ï‚§ Finite loop:
to
The source range that is used for the sweep:
ï‚§ Most sensitive source range for each source level in the sweep: AUTO
ï‚§ Best fixed range: BEST (default)
ï‚§ Present source range for the entire sweep:
Abort the sweep if the source limit is exceeded: ON (default)
Complete the sweep if the source limit is exceeded:
