Sweep Measurements
Measurement Functions
Parameters
The parameters for primary sweep source (VAR1) are same as the parameters for
sweep source of basic sweep measurement. For synchronous sweep source (VAR1'),
specify the following parameters on MEASURE: SWEEP SETUP screen.
Parameter Description
offset Offset between outputs of primary and synchronous sweep
sources.
ratio Ratio between outputs of primary and synchronous sweep
sources.
compliance Compliance value of synchronous sweep source. This
parameter applies to SMU only. Allowable range of compliance
depends on the compliance range of synchronous sweep source.
For the compliance range of each measurement channel, refer to
Chapter 7.
power compliance (Optional) Power compliance value of synchronous sweep
source. This parameter applies to SMU only. Allowable range
of power compliance depends on the power compliance range
of synchronous sweep source. For details, refer to Chapter 7.
The relationship between the output of primary and synchronous sweep sources is
determined by the following equation:
synchronous output = primary output × ratio + offset
The synchronous output determined by above equation must not exceed the output
range of synchronous sweep source.
