Introduction
Operation and Functions
Source/Measurement Capabilities
Sweep Measurement
• Number of steps: 1 to 2500
• Sweep mode: linear, logarithmic (log), or list
• Sweep direction: single or double
• Type: DC or pulse
• Minimum programmable value to create list sweep waveform:
B2901A/B2902A: 20 s with 1 s resolution
B2911A/B2912A: 10 s with 1 s resolution
Digitizing/Sampling Measurement
Digitizing/sampling measurement can be performed by appropriate setting of
measure speed and trigger interval.
Minimum trigger interval (maximum speed of measurement):
B2901A/B2902A: 20 s (50000 points/s)
B2911A/B2912A: 10 s (100000 points/s)
Data Buffers
Data buffers are array of measurement elements. Each elements hold the following
values.
• Measured voltage
• Measured current
• Measured resistance
• Time stamp
• Measurement status
• Source setting
Maximum buffer size: 100000 points/channel
