Sweep programming examples
The following examples show programming examples of typical sweeps.
Linear sweep with a voltage source
The following examples perform a linear sweep that uses a voltage source. They perform
the following actions:
•
Reset the instrument to its defaults.
•
Set the source function to voltage.
•
Set the source range to 20 V.
•
Set the source limit for measurements to 0.02 A
•
Set the measure function to current.
•
Set the current range to automatic.
•
Set up a linear sweep that sweeps from 0 to 10 V in 21 steps with a source delay of 200 ms.
•
In TSP only, name the configuration list that is created for this sweep
RES
.
•
Start the sweeps.
•
Wait until all commands are complete and then query the source value and measurement
reading.
No buffer is defined, so the data is stored in
defbuffer1
. See
Reading buffers
(on page 6-1) for
more information about reading buffers.
