I/V Sweep
Measurement Setup
This setup screen is used to set the source channel outputs, the measurement ranging
mode, the sweep abort condition, the measurement channel A/D converter, the
series resistor, the filter, and the source output/measurement wait time.
VAR1 This area defines the primary sweep source output.
Unit Source monitor unit (SMU) used for the VAR1 output
Name Variable name for the VAR1 output data
Direction Sweep direction, single (start to stop) or double (start to stop to
start)
Linear/
Log Sweep output, LINEAR, LOG10, LOG25, or LOG50. where
the number following
LOG means the number of sweep points
in one decade.
Start Sweep start value
Stop Sweep stop value
Step Incremental step value of the sweep output
No of Step Number of steps. The value is au
tomatically
calculated by using
the start, stop, and step values.
Compliance Compliance value. Enter the current limit value for the voltage
source, or th
e voltage limit value for the current source.
Pwr Comp Power compliance value (in W), or OFF
