In the attached example of FET/BJT characterisation using hardware timed two channel sweep, for each gate voltage the drain values are sweeped.
If I understand the trigger settings correctly :-
For each drain value, V is applied and I is measured. So if there are 2 Vg values and 3 Vd values, the PXI fetches 6 Vd & Id and 2 Vg, Ig values.
To put it more bluntly,
seq start
Vg = 3V Ig = .....
seq start
Vd = 0.5,Id = ....(Ig = ?)
Vd = 1,Id = ....(Ig = ?)
Vd = 1.5 Id = ....(Ig = ?)
seq complete
Vg = 4V, Ig = ......
seq start
....
seq complete
What if we wish to measure Ig for all iterations of Vd as well ? Can guess to configure 'MeasureWhen' trigger of Gate to 'SourceComplete' of Drain. Is that doable/feasible in sequence-source-mode ? Or one should apply each value in single-point-source-mode. Wish to iterate 5 values in each 4 cascaded channels at the end.

Hello,
Thanks for your posting in this forum. To assist you better, I need your code if it is possible to send it to me.
Hear from you.

Hello,
Last time I asked for your code but I think that you need more information about the hardware configuration for your PXI. That is why I found some material in the help file of the PXIe-4141 which is given below.
I hope this helps!
•Once the sequence runs Sequence Loop Count times, the operation is complete, and NI-DCPower generates the Sequence Engine Done event, as shown in the following figures.
The following figure illustrates a sequence with the niDCPower Measure When property is set to Automatically After Source Complete or the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_MEASURE_WHEN attribute is set to NIDCPOWER_VAL_AUTOMATICALLY_AFTER_SOURCE_COMPLETE.
The figure could you find in the screenshot.
You can find a screecshot in the attachment.
