Agilent B1500A/B1505A Programming Guide, Edition 11 4-225

Command Reference

0.001 to 2 for MPSMU/HRSMU, 0.001 to 20 for HPSMU, 0.001 to 40

for HCSMU, 0.001 to 80 for dual HCSMU, 0.001 to 3 for MCSMU,

0.001 to 100 for UHVU

Remarks The N value and the chnum value set to the MCPNX, MCPWNX, and WNX

commands must be unique for each command execution. If you set the value used to

the previous command, the previous command setting is cleared, and the last

command setting is effective.

For MM16, the sweep sources simultaneously start output by a trigger such as the

XE command. However, if a sweep source sets power compliance or forces

logarithmic sweep current, the sweep sources start output in the order specified by

the N value. Then the first output is forced by the primary sweep source.

For MM16, if you use multiple measurement channels, the channels that use the

high-speed A/D converter with the fixed ranging mode start measurement

simultaneously, then other channels start measurement in the order defined in the

MM command.

For MM28, the source channels set by the WNX commands start output in the order

specified by the N value, and then the source channels set by the MCPNX and

MCPWNX commands start output simultaneously.

For MM28, if you use multiple measurement channels, all measurement channels

start measurement simultaneously.

Example

Statements

OUTPUT @B1500;"WNX 2,3,1,12,0,3,1E-3,2E-3"

OUTPUT @B1500;"WNX 3,4,2,0,1E-3,1E-2,3"

The WS command causes the B1500 to enter a wait state until the B1500 receives an

external trigger from the Ext Trig In terminal. To set the trigger logic (initial setting:

negative), send the TGP command for the Ext Trig In terminal.

To end a wait state before the trigger, execute the AB or *RST command.

Syntax WS [mode]

Parameters mode : Waiting mode. Integer expression. 1 or 2. If this parameter is not

specified, mode is set to 1.

1: Continues the operation if an external trigger was already received.

Otherwise, the B1500 immediately goes into a wait state for an external

trigger.
