Command Reference
Command Reference
PWV
The PWV command specifies the pulsed sweep voltage source and its parameters.
This command also clears the settings of the PWI, WSV and WSI commands.
The settings specified by this command are cleared by the PWI command.
Measurement channel performs measurement so that the pulse width and pulse
period are kept. The integration time is automatically set by the instrument, and you
cannot change. For the Keysight E5270B, note that the high-resolution ADC cannot
be used for the pulsed measurements. The AAD/AIT/AV/WT command settings are
ignored.
Syntax
PWV chnum , mode , range , base , start , stop , step [, Icomp ]
Parameters
chnum : Pulsed sweep source channel number. The value must be slot number
where the module has been installed. Integer expression. 1 to 8 (1 and 5
are not available for HPSMU). See
Table 4-1 on page 4-9 .
mode : Sweep mode. Integer expression. 1 or 3.
1: Linear sweep (single stair, start to stop.)
3: Linear sweep (double stair, start to stop to start.)
range : Ranging type for pulsed voltage sweep. Integer expression. The output
range will be set to the minimum range that covers
base , start , and stop
values. For the limited auto ranging, the instrument never uses the
range less than the specified range. See
Table 4-4 on page 4-13 .
base , start ,
stop : Pulse base, start, or stop voltage (in V). Numeric expression. See Table
4-6 on page 4-14 .
0 to ±100, or 0 to ±200 for E5280B/E5290A
step : Number of steps for pulsed sweep. Numeric expression. 1 to 1001.
The E5260/E5270 can store approximately 16000 measurement data in
ASCII format with header without source data, or approximately 64000
measurement data in binary format.
Icomp : Current compliance (in A). Numeric expression. See Table 4-6 on
page 4-14 . If you do not specify Icomp , the previous value is set.
Compliance polarity is automatically set to the same polarity as the
output value, regardless of the specified
Icomp . If the output value is 0,
the polarity is set to positive.
