Voltage List Sweep operation mode - CVU
The Voltage List Sweep operation mode allows you to customize the voltage values for each step of
the sweep. List Sweeps allow you to make measurements only at selected forced voltages. For
example, they allow you to skip unimportant measurement points or to synthesize a custom sweep
that is based on a special mathematical equation. You can also use list sweeps to make pulsed
measurements to avoid overheating of sensitive devices. The following figure illustrates a possible list
sweep.

The voltage list sweep generates parametric curve data that is recorded in the Analyze pane.
The parameters that are available for this mode are briefly described in the following table. Select the
links to access additional information. The parameters are listed in the order in which they appear in
the All Parameters pane.
