Limit test programming example
Diode current test is an example that readily lends itself to pass or fail analysis. This test verifies
the forward currents at various voltages. The test is performed by sourcing a specified voltage
level and then measuring the current. The current is then compared with one set of limits to
determine if the diode passes or fails and should be discarded. A marginal diode, determined by a
second set of narrower limits, can be sent to Q/A for further analysis.
Test parameters for this test include:
•
Source and measure channel: channel 1
•
Source voltage: 1 V
•
Source delay: 100 ms
•
Limit 3 upper value: 10 mA
•
Limit 3 lower value: 4 mA
•
Limit 4 upper value: 8 mA
•
Limit 4 lower value: 6 mA
summarizes the basic SCPI command sequence for performing a limit test for the diode
current test.
