Cpiv.StopAt()

Type: INSTANCE FUNCTION

Purpose: Enable or disable the Cpiv termination limits.

There are six limiting conditions upon which a curve may prematurely terminate:

1. Under

I < Limit

2. Over

I > Limit

3. Stable abs(dI/dt) < Limit 4. Runaway abs(dI/dt) > Limit 5. Decreasing dI/dt < Limit 6. Increasing dI/dt > Limit

The Over criterion is used to limit a positive current swing. The Under criterion limits a negative current swing. The Runaway criterion limits the rate of change in currentl. The Stable criterion is used to run a sample until it shows stable behavior. The Decreasing and Increasing conditions are signed versions of the Stable and Runaway criteria.

These conditions may be individually enabled and disabled.

Usage:

Cpiv.StopAt(Under, Over, Stable, Runaway, Decreasing, Increasing) Under REAL

Enable the Under test and set value.
