Linear Search Measurements
Linear search measurement is performed as shown below. The source channel
sweeps voltage or current, and the measurement channel performs one point
measurement at each sweep step. The E5260/E5270 stops sweep and measurement
when the search stop condition is satisfied, and returns the source’s last output
value. The last measurement data is also returned if it is set by the LSVM command.
Figure 2-13 Linear Search Measurements
1. The search source sets output by the LSM, LSTM, and LSV or LSI commands.
Only one channel can be used for the search source.
2. The search source starts output by a trigger, such as the XE command.
3. After the hold time, the measurement channel waits for the delay time, and starts
measurement as shown in Figure 2-13 . The measurement channel can be set by
the LGI or LGV command. Only one channel can be used for the measurement.
4. After measurement, the search source changes the output value.
5. The E5260/E5270 repeats 3 and 4 until the search stop condition is satisfied. The
search stop condition is one of the following conditions selected by the LGV or
LGI command.
• Measured value is over the search target value.
• Measured value breaks the search target value.
6. After the search measurement, the search source forces the start value, the stop
value, or the last output value, as specified by the LSM command, and keeps it.
For 0 V output, enter the DZ command that is used to memorize the present
settings of the channel and change the output to 0 V.
