<function>
Voltage sweep: VOLTage
Current sweep:
CURRent
<start>
The voltage or current source level at which the sweep starts:
• Current: -7.35 A to 7.35 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
<stop>
The voltage or current at which the sweep stops:
• Current: -7.35 A to 7.35 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
<steps>
The step size at which the source level will change; step size must be greater than 0
<delay>
The delay between measurement points; default is -1, which enables autodelay, or
a specific delay value from 50
µ
s to 10,000 s; or 0 for no delay
<count>
The number of times to run the sweep; default is
1
:
• Infinite loop: 0
•
Finite loop: 1 to 268435455
<rangeType>
The source range that is used for the sweep:
• Most sensitive source range for each source level in the sweep: AUTO
• Best fixed range: BEST (default)
• Present source range for the entire sweep:
FIXed
<failAbort>
Determines if the sweep is stopped immediately if a limit is exceeded; options are:
• Abort the sweep if the source limit is exceeded: ON (default)
• Complete the sweep if the source limit is exceeded:
OFF
<dual>
Determines if the sweep runs from start to stop and then from stop to start:
• Sweep from start to stop only: OFF (default)
• Sweep from start to stop, then stop to start:
ON
<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
