Sweep programming examples
The following examples show programming examples of typical sweeps.
Linear sweep with a voltage source
The following examples perform a linear sweep that uses a voltage source. They perform the
following actions:
•
Reset the instrument to its defaults.
•
Set the source function to voltage.
•
Set the source range to 20 V.
•
Set the measure function to current.
•
Set the current range to 100
µ
A.
•
Set up a linear sweep that sweeps from 0 to 10 volts in 20 steps with a source delay of 1 ms, a
sweep count of 1, and a fixed source range. In TSP only, name the configuration list that is
created for this sweep
VoltLinSweep
.
•
Start the sweeps.
No buffer is defined, so the data is stored in
defbuffer1
(on page 3-10) for
more information on reading buffers.
