indicates a measurement of forward voltage baseĆemitter, with the horizontal
voltage sensing leads reversed.
The 370B has three measurement modes: Repeat, Single, and Sweep.
Repeat: Repeat mode is the measurement mode automatically selected when
370B is powered up or initialized. In Repeat mode, the Collector Supply and
Step Generator output are continuous.
Single: In Single mode, a set of staircase waves or pulse signal is output by
the Step Generator each time the Measurement SINGLE button is pressed,
while the Collector Supply is output continuously.
Sweep: In Sweep mode, a continuous series of dots is displayed when the
Collector Supply is in DC mode – a situation which would normally produce
only a single dot on the display. Two different Sweep mode outputs are
