I/V-t Sampling
Measurement Setup
This setup screen is used to set the sampling timing parameters, constant
voltage/current outputs, and so on.
Sampling
Pa
rameter
This
area defines the sampling timing parameters.
Linear/Log Sampling mode. LINEAR for linear sampling. LOG10,
LOG25, LOG50,
LOG100, LOG250, or LOG500 for
logarithmic sampling.
For the logarithmic sampling, the number after
LOG indicates
the number of measurement data in a decade. For example,
LOG10 mode is used to get 10 data/decade.
Interval Interval of the sampling, in seconds. 0.002 to 65.535 s, 0.001 s
resolutio
n.
Interval < 0.002 s in 0.00001 s resolution is also available for
the lin
ear sampling. It must satisfy the following formula. See
NOTE on page 5-21.
Interval ≥ 0.0001 + 0.00002 × (number of measur
ement
channels-1)
No of Samples Number of samples. Integer. 1 to the following value.
For linear: 100001 / (number of measurement channels)
For logarithmic: 1 + (number of data for 11 decades)
Total Sampling
Ti
me This
field just displays the total sampling time that is the time
from the measurement st
art time for the first point to the end of
sampling measurement. It does not include the hold time.
Total Sampling Time = Interval × No
of Samples
Output Sequence Source output sequence. SIMULTANEOUS or SEQUENTIAL.
See “Source Output Sequence and Time Origin” on page 7-18.
Hold Time Time since the Source value out
put until the first sampling
point, in seconds. 0 to 655.35 s, resolution 0.01 s.
The following values are also available for Interval < 0
.002 s.
|Hold Time| will be the time since the sampling start until the
Source value output.
-0.09 to -0.0001 s, resolution 0.0001 s.
