Using EasyEXPERT
Configuration
ASU
The ASU tab screen is available if the B1500A installs the HRSMU calibrated with
the ASU (Atto Sense/Switch Unit) regardless of the ASU connection status, and
shows the ASU information.
Slot Slot number
Module Type Type of module
Name Name of module
ASU Serial
Number
Serial number of the usable ASU. This cell shows the serial number even if the ASU
i
s disconn
ected.
If an incorrect ASU is connected to the HRSMU, this cell di
splays an error message
instead of the serial number. Error message is also displayed if an ASU is connected
to the HRSMU which is not available for using ASU.
ASU I/O Path ASU input to output connection, SMU or AUX
If this field is set to SMU, the ASU makes the path from the ASU Force input to the
ASU output.
If
this field is set to AUX, the ASU performs automatic switching in every test. The
ASU normally make
s the path from the AUX In input to the ASU output and makes
the path from the ASU Force input to the ASU output for the test with the HRSMU.
Switching Matrix
The Switching Matrix tab screen is used to confirm the GPIB connection with
Agilent B2200A/B2201A/E5250A switching matrix, and defines the connections
between the measurement units and the switching matrix input ports.
Switching Matrix
Ty
pe
Displays th
e type of the switching matrix. One of the following.
• B2200A Femto Leakage Switch Mainframe (standard)
• B2201A 14ch Low Leakage Switch Mainframe (standard)
• E5250A Low Leakage Switch Mainframe (option)
• No Switching Matrix (if switching matrix is not connected)
GPIB Address Specifies the GPIB address of the switching m
atrix. 1 to 30.
