Installation
Installing Accessories
To install ASU 1. Fix the ASU in the shielding box. The ASU must be fixed to the best position for
accessing its connectors. Agilent N1254A-108 Magnetic Stand will be useful for
fixing the ASU.
2. Pass the 16493M (D-sub cable, triaxial cable), N1300A CMU cable, 16048D/E
test leads, BNC cable an
d so on through the cable hole of the 16495K. They will
be connected between the ASU and the instruments
3. Connect the D-sub cable to the ASU D-sub connector.
Connect the triaxial cable to the ASU Force terminal.
Connect the cable to the ASU CMU-cur/AUX In terminal. See Figure 3-2.
• For the MFCMU, connect the N1300A CMU cable.
• For Agilent 4284A LCR meter, connect Agilent 16048D/E test leads.
• For the instrument other than the MFC
MU or the 4284A, con
nect the BNC
cable to the CMU-cur/AUX In terminal. And open the CMU-pot terminal or
cover it by using the BNC open cap.
4. Adjust the cable length in the shielding box, and catch in the cables by using the
cover of the 164
95K.
5. Connect the cable extended from the DUT interface to the ASU output terminal.
Fo
r the non Kelvin connection, open the Sense terminal or cover it by using the
triaxial open cap.
T
o connect
B15
00A
1. Turn t
he B1500A off.
2. Connect the D-sub cable from the ASU to the HRSMU D-su
b connector.
3. Connect the triaxial cable from the ASU to the HRSMU Force terminal.
NOTE The specifications of the ASU are guaranteed while it is connected to the exclusive
HRSMU. Confirm the serial number of the ASU, and connect it properly. See
“ASU” on page 4-43.
To connect other
instrument to AUX
To connect the instrument other than the MFCMU or the 4284A:
1. Turn the instrument off.
2. Connect the BNC cable from the ASU CMU-cur/AUX In
terminal to the
instrument. Prepare an adapter if the instrument’s input/output connector is not
BNC.
