PLSDIV Test Definitions
Parameters
RangingMode
RangingMode defines the measurement ranging mode set to the oscilloscope.
Auto ranging uses the best measurement range for the monitor value automatically.
The maximum range is the best range for the specified IdMax value.
Fixed ranging uses the best range for the specified IdMax value. This mode
contributes to higher measurement throughput.
ConnectChk ConnectChk sets the connection check function ON or OFF. This function is used to
confirm if the divider, terminator, and bias-T are connected properly. For the correct
connections, see “PlsdivInit” on page 6-15. The connection check can detect the
following improper connections.
• divider is not connected
• terminator is not connected
• T-adapter is connected instead of divider
• bias-T’s DC+RF connector is connected to the gate monitor channel
GateZero GateZero sets the gate monitor channel zero measurement ON or OFF. This
function is used to measure the offset data of the gate voltage monitor path and
update the offset value stored in a system file.
Before performing the offset measurement, the measurement cables must be
connected properly and the cable ends must be opened.
DcSwitch
DcSwitch is used to declare the usage of the pulse/dc switch units. The value must
be Yes only when the switch units are used.
If DcSwitch=Yes, the SWAddress field must show the GPIB address of the 11713A
switch controller connected to the switch units.
SWAddress
GPIB address of the 11713A switch controller. Integer, 1 to 32.
If DcSwitch=Yes, enter the GPIB address of the 11713A to this field correctly.
