For details on the pattern file of program sweep, see section 6.6, “Program Pattern File.”
Note
• Use a fixed range so that the range setting does not change during the sweep operation.
Sweep operation is possible in auto range, but the time of each source measure cycle will
be irregular. In addition, if the range setting changes, the source level will be
discontinuous.
• When fixed range is used, the sweep operation is carried out in the range setting best
suited to the source level with the highest resolution.
