Remote Mode Functions
Measurement Modes
NOTE The WT command sets the hold time, delay time, and step delay time. The WM
command sets the automatic abort function and the output after measurement. The
WV command sets the sweep voltage, and the WI command sets the sweep current.
The start and stop values must have the same polarity for log sweep.
To Use
Synchronous
Sweep Source
One more channel can be set up as a staircase sweep source that has the output
synchronized with the staircase sweep. Refer to “Synchronous Output” on page
2-44. After the measurement, the synchronous sweep source forces the start or stop
value, as same as the primary sweep source, and keeps it.
Figure 2-5 Synchronous Sweep
NOTE The WSV command sets the sweep voltage, and the WSI command sets the sweep
current. You can use the same output mode (voltage or current) as the primary
sweep. The start and stop values must have the same polarity for log sweep.
To Stop Sweep
Output
An automatic abort function is available. Refer to “Automatic Abort Function” on
page 2-46.
Even if the automatic abort function is disabled, the B1500 automatically stops
measurement if power compliance is enabled for the sweep source and the power
compliance or an automatic abort condition is detected.
