Step or sweep multiple device terminals in the same test
Multiple steps or sweeps in an interactive test module (ITM) must track with regard to step number
and duration. For example, you might want to apply multiple steps to multiple device terminals, such
as when stepping the biases on two transistor terminals and sweeping voltage or current on the third
terminal. In this setup, Clarius automatically sets the step operations to occur simultaneously, with
one terminal set up as the master. All other step functions are automatically designated as
subordinates. The following figure illustrates this concept.
