I/V Sweep Measurement
Figure 7-3 Basic Sweep Measurement
Subordinate Sweep Measurement
For subordinate sweep measurement, you set up a secondary sweep source (VAR2)
in addition to a primary sweep source (VAR1). After VAR1 sweep is completed, the
output of VAR2 sweep source is increased or decreased by the specified step value,
then the VAR1 sweep source is swept again.
Only the linear single sweep is available for the VAR2.
The following setup is required to perform the subord
inate sweep measurements.
See “I/V Sweep” on page 5-4 for the GUI.
1. Select the following on the Channel Setup tab screen.
• Select VAR1 for the Function of the SMU used for VAR1.
• Select VAR2 for the Function of the SMU used for VAR2.
• Select V, VPULSE, or COMMON for the Mode of current moni
tor SMU, or
I or IPULSE for voltage monitor SMU. Pulse is available only for one SMU.
