Remote Mode Functions
Automatic abort Function
Automatic abort Function
The automatic abort function stops measurement (increasing or decreasing source
output value) when one of the following conditions occurs. This function is useful to
reduce source output time and to prevent damage to the device during measurement.
• The output reaches voltage compliance or current compliance
• A measurement value exceeds the specified measurement range
• An SMU oscillates
The automatic abort function is enabled by using the WM, LSM, or BSM command.
This function is available for the following measurement modes:
• “Staircase Sweep Measurements”
• “Staircase Sweep with Pulsed Bias Measurements”
• “Multi Channel Sweep Measurements”
• “Pulsed Sweep Measurements”
• “Linear Search Measurements” and “Binary Search Measurements”
When abort occurs After measurement is aborted, the source forces the following value. And then the
dummy data (199.999E+99) is returned for measurement points not reached.
• Start value (for staircase sweep source and search source)
• Pulse base value (for pulsed source and pulsed sweep source)
Output after
measurement
You can specify the post measurement condition for normal measurement end. The
source output value is set by the WM, LSM, or BSM command, and it can be one of
the following values:
• Start value
• Stop value
• Last output value (for search measurement)
The setting is not effective for the pulsed sweep measurement.
NOTE Even if the post measurement value is set, the source forces the start value if output
is stopped by the automatic abort function, power compliance, or AB command.
