Function Details
I/V Sweep Measurement
Period SMU forces the next pulse after specified pulse period.
5 ms to 5 s with 100 μs resolution.
Width Time from when SMU output starts to change from base
value to
time when SMU starts to return from peak value.
Measurements are made while the peak value is output.
0.5 ms to 2 s with 100 μs resolution.
Base The base output value of the SMU pulse.
Pulse peak value Pulse peak value depends on the Function setting of the pulse source SMU. See
Table 7-1.

Only one S
MU can be used for the measurement channel.
The measurement channel always uses the compliance range which cov
ers the
setting compliance value. The Range button in the Measurement Setup is not
available.
The measurement integration time cannot be changed. The ADC/Int
eg button in the
Measurement Setup is not available.
Function Pulse peak
CONST Source value in the Constants area
VA R1 Calculated from the Start, Stop, Step values of the VAR1.
VA R2 Calculated from the Start, Stop, No o
f Step values
of the
VA R2 .
VA R1 ’ Calculated from the Start, Stop, Step values of the VAR1
and the Offset an
d Ratio values of the VAR1’.
