• The bias value is output before sweep start.
• The start value is output when the start trigger is input.
• Sweep starts when the hold time has passed after start trigger input.
• As for external trigger input, the trigger is enabled when the trigger delay time has passed.
• When the sampling is AUTO, the sweep step changed with the period time.
• When the sampling is HOLD, the sweep step operates by every trigger input.
