Classic Test Definition
C-V Sweep
Up Moves the selected frequency upward.
Down Moves the selected frequency downward.
Integration Time This area sets the A/D converter of MFCMU.
Mode A/D converter operation mode, AUTO or PLC
Factor Factor for the initial value. See “Mode, Factor” on page 7-20.
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 Hold time. This is the time from end of hold time to beginning
of measurement. The MFC
MU starts measurement as soon as
the wait time elapses. 0 to 655.35 s, 0.1 ms resolution.
Constant This area defines the constant voltage/current source.
Unit Source monitor unit (SMU) used for the constant source
V Name Variable name for the constant voltage output data
I Name Variable name for the constant current output data
Mode Output mode, V (voltage), I (current), or COMMON (ground).
Source Output value
Compliance Compliance value. Enter the current limit value for the voltage
so
urce, or th
e voltage limit value for the current source.
Sweep status This field specifies the sweep abort condition,
conti
nue at any status or stop at any
abnormal status.
Range This button opens a window used to set the measurement ranging operation. See
“CMU Range Setup Window” on page 5-53.
Advanced This button opens a window used to set the other functions of the MFCMU (multi
fr
equency capacita
nce measurement unit). See “Advanced Setup Window for C-V
Sweep” on page 5-54.
