C-V Sweep
Measurement Setup
This setup screen is used to set the MFCMU measurement mode, source channel
outputs, the sweep abort condition, and the measurement time.
C-V This area defines the MFCMU measurement mode and DC bias output.
V Name Variable name of the DC bias output data
Model MFCMU measurement mode. Primary and secondary
measurement parameters. Select on
e from the following four
models.
Cp-G: Parallel capacitance (F) and Conductance (S)
Cp-D: Parallel capacitance (F) and Dissipation factor
Cs-Rs: Series capacitance (F) and Series resistance (Ω)
Z-Th: Impedance (Ω) and Phase (degree)
para1 Na
me Variab
le name of the primary measurement parameter, C or Z
para2 Name Variab
le name of the secondary measurement parameter, G, D,
R, or Th
Direction Sweep direction, single (start to stop) or double (start to stop to
start)
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.
Signal Source This area defines the measurement signal.
Frequency List Frequency of the measurement signal
F Name Variable name of the frequency data
AC Level Oscillator level of the measurement signal, 10 mV to 250 mV, 1
mV resol
ution
Add Adds a measurement frequency.
Delete Deletes the selected frequency. To select the frequency, use the
left radi
o button.
