list. See Conﬁgure list for commands to deﬁne and control the execution of

the list.

SWEep — In this mode, the source will perform a voltage, current or mem-

ory sweep. See Conﬁgure voltage and current sweeps and Conﬁgure mem-

ory sweep for commands to deﬁne the sweep.

NOTE The sourcing mode will default to FIXed whenever the SourceMeter goes to the local

state.
