Configuration
Poll Confirms if the switching matrix with the specified GPIB Address is connected to
the B1500A.
Start Self Test This button starts the selftest of the switching matrix.
SWM IN SWM INn m
eans the switch
ing matrix input port n. where, n is an integer 1 to 10 for
the E5250A or an integer 1 to 14 for the B2200A/B2201A.
Enter the label used to specify the input port to the right entry field. The port name
and the connected mo
dule name can be the label. Or select one from the pull-down
menu. There must be no colon (:) in the label.
If the Kelvin check box is checked, the couple
d even number port is grayed out.
If the CMU check box is checked, the SWM IN10
for the E5250A or the SWM
IN14 for the B2200A/B2201A is grayed out.
Kelvin Check this box if this port is used for the Kelvin connection. Connect the switching
m
atrix in
puts to the SMU as follows.
• for the E5250A (m: integer 1
to 3)
SMU INPUT 2m-1 to the SMU Force ter
minal
SMU INPUT 2m to the SMU Sens
e terminal
• for B2200A/B2201A (m: integer 1 to
6)
Input 2m-1 to the SMU Force termin
al
Input 2m to the SMU Sense terminal
CMU Check th
is check box if this port is connected to the CMU. Connect the s
witching
matrix inputs to the CMU as follows.
• for the E5250A
AUX INPUT CV1 to the CMU Hpot/Hcur terminals
AUX INPUT CV2 to the CMU Lpot/Lcur terminals
• for B2200A/B2201A
Input 13 to the CMU Hpot/Hcur terminals
Input 14 to the CMU Lpot/Lcur terminals
To obtain accurate capacitance measurement result, perform capacitance
co
mpensation. See “C
apacitance Compensation When Using Switching Matrix” on
page 3-47. Also see “Extended Configuration” on page 4-46.
