Linear sweep function
Continuously Source from 0% to 100%
Step sweep function
Change output in a staircase (step) pattern by specifying the number of steps. (The number of steps can be set from 2 to 20)
Program sweep function
Users can set the desired output value (%) and number of steps. (10 steps for CA500, 20 steps for CA550)
