Keysight B2961A/B2962A User’s Guide, Edition 3 1-7Getting StartedPerforming Sweep MeasurementPerforming Sweep MeasurementB2961A/B2962A can be used as a DC current/voltage sweep source and meter. Thefollowing example applies a staircase sweep voltage and measures current andvoltage at each step voltage.Step 1. Press the key to display the Single view.Step 2. Set the Source mode, Limit value, and Measure parameter. Setup example isdescribed in “Applying DC Output” and “Performing Spot Measurement”.This example sets the voltage output mode, 100 nA limit value, and both current andvoltage measurements.Step 3. Setting the Sweep parameters1. Use the rotary knob or arrow keys to move the field pointer onto the Functionfield. If the screen does not display the field, press More and Hide xxxx.2. Press the rotary knob to change the status to EDIT (green).3. Press LINEAR SINGLE to set the linear single sweep mode. The source shapeindicator shows the staircase icon, and the status changes to MOVE (blue).4. Use the rotary knob, arrow keys, or numeric/alpha keys to set the Start (sweepstart value), Stop (sweep stop value), and Step (sweep step value) or Points(number of sweep steps).This example sets Start to 0 V, Stop to 0.5 V, and Points to 11.Step 4. Setting the Trigger parameters1. Press More and Show Trigger to display the Trigger setup.2. Press the rotary knob onto the Trigger field to change the status to EDIT (green).3.
