Part 22: Sweep-Step Functions (SSF)

The sweep-step function allows six potential sweeps and six potential steps to be used together. Fig. 22-1 shows that the potential waveform is applied as a time function. With 12 segments available, it can be thought of as an arbitrary waveform generator. Any segment can be skipped, providing flexibility in waveform control. The current is recorded as function of time. For sweep segments, it can be set as an initial and final potentials, or as a potential sweep rate.
