Stress biased acquisition

On the

Select Devices to Measure and Measurement Type

UI select

Stress Bias

and proceed to select the measurement type (TC and or IV) and the device to
measure etc. as for a standard acquisition. Select Apply to open the

Measurement Settings and Device Parameters

UI.

Under Advanced Settings, enter the number of measurement cycle in

# Cycles.

The minimum

number of cycles is 1, the maximum is 4

On the Acquisition Rate drop down menu, select User to force SuperFACT to wait a user defined
amount of time before starting the successive cycle.

Meas.Interval

is used to enter the interval between two successive acquisition cycles. This control

accepts value in the format hours:minutes:seconds.

The

Bias On

option of the

Bias

ring control drop down menu is used to enable the voltage bias

capability. The desired voltage bias is entered through the

Bias Voltage

input field.

Bias Voltage

accepts voltage in the range -10 to 10 Volts.

Important:

If the total current measured during stress biased exceeds 10 mA, SuperFACT will return

error code 5600 and the acquisition will be terminated.
