Function Details
Bias Hold Function
Setup method This function can be set by using the Advanced Setup window.
• Bias hold after measurement
Set the function ON (enable) or OFF (disable, default setting).
• Output value after measurement
Select the bias output value START (default) or
STOP fo
r the I/V or C-V sweep
measurement, or BASE or SOURCE (default) for the sampling measurement.
This is invalid for the VAR2, CONST, and constant source for C-V Sweep.

SPGU output
FREE RUN Continues the pulse output in the VPULSE mode or the
sequence outpu

SPGU trigger reset is performed at the beginning of the
simultaneou
s sampling measurement.
COUNT Continues the base voltage output in the VPULSE mode
or the in
itial voltage output in the ALWG mode.
SPGU channel initialization is performed at the beginning
of the next measu
rement.
