TIMING
• HOLD TIME
In the HOLD TIME field, you set the
hold time
. The output unit waits this time
after forcing the start value. Range: 0 to 655.35 s. Resolution: 10 ms.
• DELAY TIME In DELAY TIME field, you set the
delay time
. The output unit
waits this time after each step, then starts measurement. If an SMU is set up to
be a pulse source, DELAY TIME field is not displayed because each step is
synchronized with pulse output. Range: 0 to 65.535s. Resolution: 100
m
s.
SWEEP Status
• Select CONT AT ANY secondary softkey (sweep will continue even if an
abnormal status occurs). Abnormal status means the following:
• SMU reaches its compliance setting.
• Current of VSU exceeds approximately ±100 mA.
• SMU or VSU oscillates.
• A/D converter overflow occurs.
• Average current of PGU exceeds ±100 mA.
• Select STOP AT ANY ABNORM secondary softkey (sweep will stop if any
abnormal status occurs).
• Select STOP AT COMPLIANCE secondary softkey (sweep will stop only if
SMU reaches its compliance setting).
STOP AT COMPLIANCE
is automatically set when power compliance is set for
SMUs, or when
10k ohm
,
100k ohm
, or
1M ohm
is selected in the SERIES
RESISTANCE field. If power compliance is set for an SMU, the CONT AT ANY
secondary softkey is not displayed.
