Command Reference
Command Reference
• For current source ( mode =2): See Table 4-5 on page 4-13 .
For the linear sweep, the E5260/E5270 uses the minimum range
that covers both
start and stop values to force the staircase sweep
current.
For the log sweep, the E5260/E5270 changes the output range
dynamically.
For the limited auto ranging, the instrument never uses the range
less than the specified range.
start , stop : Start or stop value (in V or A). Numeric expression.
• For voltage source ( mode =1): See Table 4-6 on page 4-14 .
0 to ±100, or 0 to ±200 for E5280B/E5290A
• For current source ( mode =2): See Table 4-7 on page 4-15 .
0 to ±0.1, 0 to ±0.2 for E5291A, or 0 to ±1 for E5280B/E5290A
start and stop must have the same polarity for log sweep.
Sweep mode, linear or log, and the number of sweep steps are set by the
WI or WV command.
comp : Compliance (in A or V). Numeric expression. If you do not set comp ,
the previous value is used.
If you set Pcomp , the maximum comp value for the module is allowed,
regardless of the output range setting.
Compliance polarity is automatically set to the same polarity as the
output value, regardless of the specified
comp . If the output value is 0,
the polarity is set to positive.
• For voltage source ( mode =1): See Icomp in Table 4-6 on page 4-14 .
• For current source ( mode =2): See Vcomp in Table 4-7 on page 4-15 .
For the log sweep and without Pcomp , set the value available for
the minimum range that covers start and stop values.
Pcomp : Power compliance (in W). Numeric expression. Resolution: 0.001 W. If
the
Pcomp value is not entered, the power compliance is not set.
0.001 to 2, 0.001 to 4 for E5291A, or 0.001 to 20 for E5280B/E5290A
