Pulsed Spot Measurements
Pulsed spot measurement is performed as shown below. The measurement channel
performs one point measurement while the source channel is forcing a pulse.
Figure 2-2 Pulsed Spot Measurements
1. The pulse source channel sets output by the PT command and the PV or PI
command. Only one channel can be used for the pulse source.
2. The pulse source channel starts output by a trigger, such as the XE command.
3. The measurement channel starts measurement as shown in Figure 2-2 .
The channel performs measurement so that the pulse width and pulse period are
kept (the integration time setting is ignored). Only one channel can be used for
measurement.
4. After measurement, the pulse source channel forces the pulse base value.
If the next trigger occurs within the pulse period, and if the rest of the pulse
period is longer than the hold time as shown in
Figure 2-2 , the pulse source
waits for the rest, then starts the pulse output immediately. If the rest of the pulse
period is shorter than the hold time, the pulse source waits for the hold time
since the last trigger, then starts the pulse output.
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.
NOTE The PT command sets the pulse timing parameters, such as pulse width and pulse
period. The PV command sets voltage pulse, and the PI command sets current pulse.
