Function Details
Sweep Abort Function
Sweep Abort Function
The automatic sweep abort function is used to stop sweep measurement (increasing
or decreasing source output value) when one of the following conditions occurs.
This function is useful to reduce sweep time and to prevent damage to the device
during measurement.
• The output reaches voltage compliance or current compliance
• A measurement value exceeds the specified measur
ement range
• An SMU oscillates
• An error is caused in the MFCMU
The automatic abort function is enabled by using the Sweep [xxxx] status field on
th
e Measurem
ent Setup screen of the Classic Test definition.
• Sweep [CONTINUE AT ANY] status: Sets the abort function OFF.
• Sweep [STOP AT ANY ABNORMAL] status: Sets the abort function ON.
This function is available for the following measurement modes:
• “I/V Sweep Measurement”
• “C-V Sweep Measurement”
When abort occurs
After measurement is aborted, the source forces the following value.
• Sweep source: Start value
• Pulsed source or Pulsed sweep source: Pulse base value
