You can change the channel operating mode of an SMU/Power Supply channel to Voltage
Sequence or Current Sequence mode to enable power sequencing. Power sequencing
allows you to output the desired power-up sequence for a DUT with multiple power
sources by configuring the order, timing, and level of each power supply
channel.

Note
- Channels within the same panel operating in Voltage Sequence, Current Sequence,
Pulse Voltage, or Pulse Current mode are automatically hardware-synchronized. Refer
to Multi-Device Synchronization for more
information on hardware and software synchronization within panels.
- Sequence channel operating modes are supported only on power supplies that
support advanced sequencing. For more information on advanced sequencing and
supported devices, refer to NI-DCPower Advanced Sequencing documentation.
-
Place an SMU or power supply in a panel.
If you place the device in a large panel, the graph shows a preview of the
output sequence the channel will generate.
-
Set the operating mode of the panel to Waveform or
Charting.
Placing the panel in Waveform mode enables fast
sampling and allows you to visualize the sequence in more detail.
-
Set the channel operating mode to Voltage sequence or
Current sequence.
A step table appears within the channel.
-
Edit the steps in the step table by entering the values manually, importing
data from a file, or pasting data from the clipboard.
-
(Optional) Tune the output of the sequence using SourceAdapt
parameters, found in the Channel Settings window.
-
Enable the channel output and run the panel to begin the sequence.
