Advanced Setup Window
Advanced Setup Window
This window is opened by clicking the Advanced button on the I/V Sweep / Multi
Channel I/V Sweep / I/V List Sweep / I/V-t Sampling Measurement Setup screen,
and is used to set the following functions of the measurement channel.
Channel Settings This area sets the series resistor and the filter.
Unit Source monitor unit (SMU) used for the measurement
VName V
ariable name of voltage output or measurement data
IName Variable name of current output or measurement data
Series R Series resistor NONE or 1MOHM. See “SMU Series Resistor”
on page 7-63.
SMU Filter SMU filter ON or OFF. See “SMU Filter” on page 7-62.
Wait Time Control This area sets the source output wait time and the meas
urement wait time. See “Wait
Time” on page 7-60. The Output Wait sets the source output wait time. The
Measurement Wait sets the measurement wait time.
Factor Factor value. 0 to 10, 0.1 resolution. This is the N value show

This
area sets the bias hold function used to keep the source output after
measurement. The source module applies the specified bias between a measurement
and the next measurement performed in the repeat measurement or quick test. See
“Bias Hold Function” on page 7-40.
