User’s Manual Sweep Operation 10-25
Custom sweep programming example
As an example of custom sweep operation, assume a five-point sweep with the following
parameters:
Source Function: volts
Sense Function: current
Voltage Sweep Mode: list (custom sweep)
Sweep Voltage Points: 7V, 1V, 3V, 8V, 2V
Current Compliance: 100mA
Source Delay: 100ms
Table 10-6 summarizes the basic remote command sequence for performing the custom
sweep described above.
Source memory sweep commands
Table 10-7 summarizes remote commands used for custom sweep operation. See
Section 18, “Configure memory sweep,” for more details on these commands.
