<function>
The source function:
• Voltage pulse sweep: VOLTage
•
Current pulse sweep: CURRent
<biasLevel>
Output level the instrument sources before the first pulse and returns to between
pulses (delay and off time):
• Current: -7.35 A to 7.35 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
<pulseLevel>
The amplitude current or voltage from zero (not from the bias level):
• Current: -10.5 A to 10.5 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
<pulseWidth>
The time at the amplitude level for each pulse:
• Extended operating area: 10 A at 100 V, 5 % duty cycle, maximum pulse
width: 1 ms, minimum pulse width 150 µs (load dependent)
• Normal operating area (DC): 99.99 % duty cycle, maximum pulse width
10,000 s, minimum pulse width 150 µs
<count>
The number of pulses in the pulse train; default is 1:
• Infinite loop: 0
• Finite loop:
1
to
268435455
<measEnable>
Enable or disable measurements at the top of each pulse:
• Enable: ON (default)
• Disable:
OFF
<bufferName>
A string that indicates the reading buffer; the default buffers (defbuffer1 or
defbuffer2) or the name of a user-defined buffer; if no buffer is specified,
defbuffer1
is used
<delay>
The amount of time that the instrument stays at bias level before each pulse (in
seconds): 0 to 10,000 s
