Measurement Units and Functions

Output Sequence

When you perform measurements or force stress, or when you use the standby

function, you can specify an output sequence for the source channels.

The 4155C/4156C has two output sequence modes:

• sequential mode

The source channels output in the order that you specify in the OUTPUT

SEQUENCE table on the MEASURE: OUTPUT SEQUENCE screen. The

source outputs are stopped in the opposite order.

You can set the output sequence to prevent damage to DUTs.

• simultaneous mode (for sampling measurements only)

All the source channels output simultaneously. The source outputs are stopped in

the opposite order that you specify in the OUTPUT SEQUENCE table on the

MEASURE: OUTPUT SEQUENCE screen.

For a sampling sequence example, see Chapter 3.

For a stress sequence example, see Chapter 5.

For a standby sequence example, see Chapter 8.
