Synchronous Sweep Measurements
Synchronous Sweep Measurements
To make synchronous sweep measurements, use the following function with the
functions shown in “Staircase Sweep Measurements” on page 22, or “Pulsed Sweep
Measurements” on page 34.
The hp4156b_setSweepSync function must be placed after the hp4156b_setIv
function or the hp4156b_setPiv function in the To/From object.
Table 6-8 Function for Synchronous Sweep Measurements
A program example is shown in Figure 6-20 on page 6-25. This program measures
MOSFET Id-Vg characteristics. The measurement setup is shown in Figure 6-19.
