Multi Channel 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.
Direction Sweep direction, single (start to stop) or double (start to stop to
sta
r
t)
Li
ne
ar
/
Log Sweep output, LINEAR, LOG10, LOG25, or LOG50 where the
number foll
owing LOG indicates the number of sweep points in
one decade.
