Multi Channel I/V Sweep Measurement

Multi Channel I/V Sweep measurement is similar to I/V Sweep measurement.

Changes from I/V Sweep are listed below.

• All SMU can be set to the VAR1 sweep source (up to 10 channels)

• All SMU can be set to the pulse source (up to 10 channels)

• There is no restriction for the VAR1 output mode, voltage or current

• VAR1’ sweep mode is not available

The timing of the sweep output and measurements are shown in Figure 4-8. The DC

output channels start to output in the order in which they are listed on the Channel

Setup screen. If multiple measurement channels are used, the channels perform the

measurements in order. See

“Multiple Measurement Channels” on page 4-69.

If multiple pulse output channels are used, the DC output channels start to output in

the order in which they are listed on the Channel Setup screen, and then the pulse

output channels start to output simultaneously. And the all measurement channels

perform measurements simultaneously.
