how to stop a sweep on a tektronics 371A

[curve maker]

I am trying to get my Sony/Tektronix High Power Curve Tracer to product a family of curves and display the curves when done. What happens when the program is run the sweep light flashes on then off without preforming the sweep function. Instead what happens is it reverts to the repeat function even though the measure mode is set to sweep. The vis in the program are read curve, ref display, status and event, text, collector supply, event decoder, horiz and vert, measure mode, and step generator. The step generator is set to 10 steps and the measure mode is set to sweep. Does anyone know what I need get the curve tracer to sweep and then stop without going on to the repeat mode.

Hello-

It may help to contact Tektronics about this issue. Unfortunately, this driver is only a traditional driver built in LabVIEW.

Here is some information from Tekronix Technical Support that may be helpful:

"Sweep is non-functional when the 371A's collector supply is operating in High Voltage mode. It works only when the collector supply is operating in High Current mode.

Also, sweep is only functional when the display mode is set to Store, it doesn't work in Non-Store

If Sweep fails to function in High Current/Store, I'd look for a bug in the driver."
