Series 2400 SourceMeter® Quick Start Guide
Section 1: Introduction
The readings will be stored in the buffer if a finite count sweep was run.
Performing a log staircase sweep
Perform the following steps to run a log staircase sweep:
1.
Configure the source and measure functions. The source level you set becomes the bias
level for the sweep.
2.
Configure the log staircase sweep, including start and stop values and number of points, as
previously explained.
3.
Set the source delay as required.
4.
Turn the output on. The SourceMeter will output the bias level.
5.
Run the sweep by pressing the SWEEP key. When finished, turn the output off.
The readings will be stored in the buffer if a finite count sweep was run.
Performing a custom sweep
Perform the following steps to run a custom sweep:
1.
Configure the source and measure functions. The source level you set becomes the bias
level for the sweep.
2.
Configure the custom sweep by choosing the number of points and initial value. Also be
sure to adjust individual sweep points as required.
3.
Set the source delay.
4.
Turn the output on. The SourceMeter will output the bias level.
5.
Run the sweep by pressing the SWEEP key. When finished, turn the output off.
The readings will be stored in the buffer if a finite count sweep was run.
Performing a source memory sweep
Perform the following steps to run a source memory sweep:
1.
Configure and save source and measure functions for each sweep point in individual source
memory locations, as previously explained.
2.
Configure the source memory sweep by choosing the start memory location and number of
points.
3.
Turn the output on.
4.
Run the sweep by pressing the SWEEP key. When finished, turn the output off.
The readings will be stored in the buffer if a finite count sweep was run.
