Auto Range
If auto range is turned ON, the range setting with the highest resolution that contains the
source level is automatically selected, eliminating the need for you to manually select the
range setting. However, switching the range setting takes time, and the source level becomes
discontinuous, if the range setting switches as a result of changing the source level.
Source Mode
(See sections 5.4 and 5.5 for the procedure)
There are two source modes available.
DC Source Mode
If the sweep mode (see section 2.6, “Sweep”) is ON in DC source mode, the source level
changes after a time specified by the source delay elapses from the point in which the
trigger is activated. Then, measurement starts after a time specified by measurement
delay elapses. When the measurement and computation are complete, one source
measure cycle is finished.
If the sweep mode is OFF, the source level is maintained, and the source measure cycle
is carried out.
If the measurement function (see section 2.4, “Measurement”) is turned OFF, measure
delay, measurement, and computation are not carried out. The source measure cycle is
finished when the source level changes.
