Source Measure Cycle
Source measure cycle on the GS610 refers to the basic operation that starts with a
trigger (see section 2.5, “Triggers”). When the GS610 output is ON, the source measure
cycle is constantly repeated.
In a source measure cycle, the source level changes after a time specified by the source
delay elapses from the point in which the trigger is activated. Furthermore, the
measurement starts after a time specified by the measurement delay elapses. When the
measurement and computation are complete, one source measure cycle is finished.
However, if you change the source level with a key or a communication command in the
middle of a source measure cycle, the source level changes immediately without waiting
for the source delay or measure delay, and the internal trigger phase is reset.
If the measurement function is turned OFF, measure delay, measurement, and
computation are not carried out. The way in which a source measure cycle ends varies
depending on the source mode (see sections 5.4, “DC Source Mode” and 5.5, “Pulse
Source Mode).
