5.6.4
Serial Sweep
This section describes an example where one of two 4601 units connected in series finishes sweep and then
the other starts sweep.
Two 4601 units in series connected are capable of sink operation up to +600 V /-1 A.
For the connection method, see Figure 5-14.
RTB (Return to Bias) of the first unit is set to OFF so that the output value does not return to the bias value
and stays at the stop value at sweep end. The second unit starts sweep by the COMPLETE OUT signal
from the first unit.
The measurement results are obtained by using the data of two units as follows:
Vm = Vm1
No.1 sweep period
Vm = ( Vm2)
No.2 sweep period
Im = Im1
No.1 sweep period
Im = Im2
No.2 sweep period
Ir = Ir1
No.1 sweep period
Ir = Ir2
No.2 sweep period
Vstop1:
No.1 sweep stop
