Details
When list sweep is a selected source function, it does a list sweep with arbitrary sweep points in order
of the defined sweep parameters. If the source that is being used is a SMU, the source mode for the
sweep can be voltage or current. If, however, a voltage source (
VS1...Sn
) is being used, the source
mode must be voltage.
With the voltage source mode (
VR
) specified in the command string, you are setting the current
compliance. For the current source mode (
IR
), you are setting the voltage compliance. When
sourcing voltage, note that if you specify a compliance current that is below the minimum allowable
value, 100 pA with a preamplifier installed and 100 nA without a preamplifier, KXCI sets it to the
minimum allowable value.
The maximum number of points for the list is 4096. Sweep points must be delimited by commas.
Example
VL1,1, 0.01, 1, 5, 2
This command string sets up a channel 1 list sweep (1 V, 5 V, 2 V arbitrary steps, and compliance =
10 mA).
