The figure shows us we are going to measure the voltage across the device.

Therefore the next graph, Fig.13.18, will give us detailed information regarding the

measuring level.

The level is low enough not to worry us and we proceed with our post process as

before. Instead of the CV button CI should be selected.

Finally Fig.13.19 shows the process result.
