Sweep characteristics
For any of the sweep types, program a pulse mode sweep by configuring the end pulse action. Refer
to
(on page 3-26) for more information.
Linear staircase sweeps
As shown below, this sweep type steps from a start voltage or current value to an ending (stop) value.
When enabled, a measurement is made at each point after the source and measurement settling
time.
Figure 33: Linear staircase sweep
A linear staircase sweep is configured using a start level, a stop level, and the total number of points,
including the start and stop points. The step size is determined by the start and stop levels, and the
number of sweep points:
step = (stop - start) / (points - 1)
The number of sweep steps actually performed is determined by the trigger count. Refer to
(on page 3-31) for more information.
