Classic Test Definition
I/V Sweep
VAR2 This area defines the secondary sweep source output.
Unit Source monitor unit (SMU) used for the VAR2 output
Name Variable name for the VAR2 output data
Start Sweep start value
Stop Sweep stop value. The value is
automatically calculated by
u
sing the start, step, and number of step values.
Step Incremental step value of the sweep output
No of Step Number of sweep steps
Compliance Compliance value. Enter the current limit value for the voltage
so
urce, or th
e voltage limit value for the current source.
Pwr Comp Power compliance value (in W), or OFF
VAR1’ This area defines the synchronous sweep source output. The VAR1’ output is given
by the follo
wing formula.
VAR1’ output = Offset + Ratio × VAR1 outpu
t
Unit Source monitor unit (SMU) used for the VAR1’ output
Name Variable name for the VAR1’ output data
Offset Offset value
Ratio Ratio value
Compliance Compliance value. Enter the current limit value for the voltage
so
urce, or th
e voltage limit value for the current source.
Pwr Comp Power compliance value (in W), or OFF
Timing This area defines the hold time and the delay time. See “To Sp
ecify Source Output
Time” on page 7-59.
Hold Hold time. This is the time from beginning of channel output to
beginning
of delay time. 0 to 655.35 s, 10 ms resolution.
Delay Delay time. This is the time from end of hold time to beginning
of measurement. The meas
urement channels start measurement
as soon as the wait time elapses. 0 to 65.535 s, 0.1 ms
resolution.
