Threshold Power
The power threshold allows you to set a power threshold. If the threshold is reached or exceeded, the
present sweep is stopped. Testing continues with any subsequent sweeps.
This threshold is a comparison of the measurement after the pulse has been applied to the DUT (the
threshold value will be exceeded, at least slightly). The degree to which the signal exceeds the
threshold before the threshold is triggered is a function of the DUT response and test configuration.
Generally, smaller voltage step sizes will reduce the amount that the signal exceeds the threshold.
You can specify more than one threshold for each channel.
Test settings
When Configure is selected, you can configure settings for the selected test.
The following discusses the Test Settings pane for interactive test modules (ITMs). For tests that are
based on user modules (UTMs), you use the options in the Test Settings pane to select the User
Library and User Module for the test. Refer to
(on page 6-108) for additional
information on settings available for UTMs.
In the Test Settings pane, you can set items such as:
•
Test speed.
•
Timestamp reporting.
•
Delays.
•
Hold times.
•
In-test and post-test data computations using the Formulator. Refer to
6-222) for detail on using the Formulator.
•
Which readings to send to the Analyze sheet using the Output Values.
•
Compliance exit condition for SMUs.
You can configure multiple measurement delays in the Test Settings pane. However, if you are using
autoranging, note that these delays do not include autoranging delays, which can be substantial.
Access the test settings
To access the Test Settings pane:
1. In the project tree, select the test.
2. Select
Configure
.
3. Select
Terminal Settings
in the right pane.
4. Make settings as needed.
5. If needed, select Advanced to access additional settings.
The options that are available depend on the instrument that is selected. For descriptions of
parameters, refer to:
