 User’s Manual 
Description :SFAC instructs the SourceMeter to source the scaling factor times 
the previous source memory location value. For example, if 10.0V is 
stored in the first source memory (Source I, Measure V Mode), and 
the unit is in the Source V, Measure I mode with :SFAC set to 0.1 
and enabled, the unit will output 1.0V for the second source memory 
location.
NOTE These commands work only with source memory sweeps.
TRIGgered:SFACtor:STATe <b>
:SOURce[1]:CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered:SFACtor:STATe <b>Enable/disable current scaling
:SOURce[1]:VOLTage[:LEVel]:TRIGgered:SFACtor:STATe <b>Enable/disable voltage scaling 
Parameters <b> = 1 or ON Enable scaling
0 or OFF Disable scaling
Query :SFACtor:STATe? Query enabled/disabled scaling state
Description :SFAC:STAT enables or disables scaling.
NOTE These commands work only with source memory sweeps.
Soak time
SOAK <NRf>
:SOURce[1]:SOAK <NRf> Set multiple mode soak time
Parameters <NRf> = soak time (s) 0.000 to 9999.999s
Query :SOAK? Query multiple mode soak time
Description With SYST:RCMode set to MULTiple, SOUR:SOAK specifies the 
amount of time after the first point of a sweep that the unit will sit in a 
loop actively autoranging up and down to allow a multiple SourceMe
-
ter configuration to settle. (See “SYSTem subsystem,” page 18-103.) 
This process will be done only once per INIT, READ?, or MEAS? 
command. The soak time is especially useful for low current mea
-
surements when multiple down-range changes from the higher 
ranges are required.
NOTE For the Model 2430 Pulse Mode, soak time is not used for sweeps.
