Sweep operation
Sweep types
The three available sweep types are linear staircase, logarithmic staircase, and custom
(list). Both types of staircase sweeps can be performed from the front panel, but custom
sweeps are available only via remote.
Linear staircase sweep
When the sweep shown in
Figure 8
is triggered to start, the current source output will go
to the start source current level. The output will then change in equal steps until the stop
source level is reached. The time duration at each step is determined by the time it takes to
perform the measurement, which includes both the pulse width and the pulse delay.
Use the following menu sequence to set the start, stop, and step source levels:
Press CONFIG > press SWEEP > select TYPE > select STAIR.
After selecting STAIR, you will be prompted to enter the START, STOP, and STEP levels.
