(2) Auto range measurement during sweep
During sweep operation, measurement is made in each step but if the measurement range is set to
Auto range, auto ranging is performed until measurement data can be confirmed in each step.
Figure 4-18 Auto Ranging during Sweep Mode Measurement
This example shows the operation when DC sweep and Pulse sweep are performed in VSIM.
Because the IM measurement value exceeded 3.2 mA in step 2, range change from 3.2 mA to 32 mA
takes place following measurement 1. Then, because the measurement value of measurement 2 also
becomes over range, range change from 32 mA to 320 mA takes place.
Then the measurement value of step 2 is confirmed by measurement 3 and the process proceeds to
step 3.
