Programming Basics
Data Output Format
Pulsed Sweep,
Staircase Sweep
with Pulsed Bias
Block1 [, Block2 ] . . . . <terminator>
Block1 is the block of data measured at the first sweep step. Block2 is the block of
data measured at the second sweep step.
where Block consists of the following data:
Data [, Source_data ]
Data is the value measured by the channel you specify by using the MM command.
Source_data is the sweep source output value. It is sent if the data output is enabled
by the FMT command.
Linear Search,
Binary Search
Data_search [, Data_sense ]<terminator>
This is the data at the measurement point closest to the search target.
Data_search is the value forced by the search output channel.
Data_sense is the value measured by the search monitor channel. It is sent if data
output is enabled by the BSVM command for the binary search, or the LSVM
command for the linear search.
TDI, TDV
command
Time <terminator>
Time is the time from when the timer count is cleared until the output is started.
Time Stamp
NOTE This function is not available for the quasi-pulsed spot measurement (MM9) and the
search measurement (MM14 and MM15).
The E5260/E5270 can record the time when the measurement is started, and sends
the time data (
Time ). This function is enabled by the TSC command.
The time data will be sent just before the measurement data. For example, in the
staircase sweep measurements, the data will be as shown below.
Block1 [, Block2 ] . . . . <terminator>
where, BlockN ( N : integer) = Time1 , Data1 [, Time2 , Data2 ] ... [, Source_data ], then
TimeN ( N : integer) is the time from when the timer count is cleared until the DataN
measurement is started.
The timer count is cleared ( Time =0) by the TSR command.
