To Connect SCUU/GSWU
Agilent N1301A-100 SMU CMU Unify Unit (SCUU) is used to switch the module
(CMU or SMU) to be connected to the DUT. The SCUU is available for the
MPSMU and HRSMU.
Agilent N1301A-200 Guard Switch Unit (GSWU) is used to connect the CMU high
and low guard lines together
near the DUT. The connection is broken when the
SCUU is in the SMU connection state. The GSWU is effective for the accurate
impedance measurement.
NOTE For the installation of the SCUU/GSWU and the connection to the DUT interface
(probe card, manipulators, and so on), contact your favorite prober vender. The
prober vender will have the solutions. Dimensions of the SCUU are 148 mm (W)
×
75 mm (H) × 70 mm (D). Dimensions of the GSWU are 33.2 mm (W) × 41.5 mm
(H) × 32.8 mm (D).

Required parts • Agilent 16495K Connector plate
• Agilent N1301A-201/202 GSWU cable (if GSWU is used)
• Agilent N1301A-102 SCUU cable (if SCUU is not attached to the MFCMU)
• Agilent N1301A-110 Magnet stand (if GSWU is used)
• BNC cable, coaxial cable, manipulator, wire, and so on
