User’s Manual Sweep Operation 10-7
Sweep configuration
The user specifies the number of memory location points to sweep and where to
start the sweep. For example, you can specify a six point sweep that starts at
memory location 98. When the sweep is started, the setups at memory location
points 98, 99, 100, 1, 2, and 3 are recalled. When sweeping past point 100, the
sweep automatically wraps back to memory location point 1. The default and typi-
cal scenario is starting the source memory sweep at location 1.
NOTE These and other components of the sweep are configured from the
CONFIGURE SWEEPS menu. See “
Configuring and running a sweep”
later in this section.
Setups are saved in battery backed-up memory, and they remain and
can be recalled even if the SourceMeter looses external power.
Saving and restoring source memory setups
Source memory setups are saved in memory and restored from the SAVESETUP
(SOURCE MEMORY) option of the MAIN MENU. (See Section 1, “Main menu.”)
NOTE Source memory setups are different from the power-on and user-defined
setups, which are programmed from the SAVESETUP (GLOBAL) MAIN
MENU option. See
Section 1 for details.
Saving source memory setups
Perform the following steps to save source memory setups:
1. Configure the SourceMeter for the desired source, measure, and/or math
expression operation.
2. Press MENU to display the MAIN MENU:
• Select SAVESETUP.
• Select SOURCE MEMORY.
• Select SAVE.
• Use the SOURCE arrow keys, and the cursor keys to display the
desired memory location, and press ENTER.
• Use the EXIT key to back out of the menu structure.
3. Configure the SourceMeter for the next point in the sweep, and repeat Step
2 to save that setup in the next memory location.
4. Repeat Step 3 for all points in the sweep.
