Power Sweep Settings
The 2400 has four scanning modes: linear staircase, logarithmic staircase, custom, and source memory. The four modes are briefly described as follows: Linear staircase
As shown in Figure 4-1, you must set the START, STOP, STEP, DELAY, and DELAY times.
Logarithmic staircase scanning
As shown in Figure 4-2, you must set the START, STOP, NO OF POINTS, and DELAY.
Custom Waveform Scanning
As shown in Figure 4-3, the number of points to be scanned (#-POINTS), the alignment of each point (ADJUST-POINTS), and the delay time (DELAY) must be set.
Memory Scan (source memory)
We can store different measurement configurations in the memory, and then scan through the memory to do different configurations of the test, up to 100 sets of different measurement configurations. For example, for a component to be tested, I want to send voltage to measure current, then send current flow voltage, and finally measure its resistance value, then I can store the setting of sending current flow voltage into memory, then store the setting of sending current flow voltage, and finally store the setting of resistance measurement, and then do the memory scan after completing the above settings to complete the above three kinds of tests in sequence.
