9-22 Sweep Operation
Source memory sweep programming example
As an example of source memory sweep operation, assume a three-point sweep with the fol-
lowing operating modes:
Source Memory Location #1: source voltage, measure current, 10V source value
Source Memory Location #2: source current, measure voltage, 100mA source value
Source Memory Location #3: source current, measure current, 100mA source value
Table 9-8 summarizes the basic remote command sequence for performing the basic source
memory sweep described above.
