Source Range
1. Source range
•
The source value (pulse value) for the DC source, pulse source or low-resistance measurement
pulse source mode is output in the displayed range.
•
The range of the bias, base, start and stop values for the sweep source mode is decided depend-
ing on whether the sweep range is set to Auto or fixed as below regardless of the set or dis-
played value.
Set the sweep range according to the parameters
B) SWEEP
,
2) SWP Range
in the menu.
2. Range to be set when the sweep range is Auto
3. Ranging during sweep
The period time may be extended if a range change occurs while sweeping. For more information on
the sweep operation in this case, see Table 5-5, "Operations in DC Sweep Source Mode" or Table 5-6,
"Operations in Pulse Sweep Source Mode."
If the period time is extended, the TpALM indicator illuminates.
Sweep range setting
Range
Fix
Fixes to the range that can output the maximum value
of all setting values.
The range is not changed while sweeping.
Auto
Sets every setting value to the optimum range so the
number of enabled digits is the largest.
If there are setting values in different ranges, the
range changes during the sweep.
