Logarithmic staircase sweeps
This sweep is similar to the linear staircase sweep. The steps, however, are done on a logarithmic
scale as shown in the example sweep in
Figure 5-3. This example is a 5-point log sweep from 1V
to 10V. The sweep can be either positive-going or negative-going depending on relative start and
stop parameter values.
