This button opens the “Extended Configuration” on page 4-46 dialog box.
SMU/PG Selector
The SMU/PG Selector tab screen is used to specify the input connection and the
channel connection status of the Agilent 16440A SMU/PG selector. The selector can
be controlled by the B1500A via the Digital I/O connector and the Agilent 16445A
selector adapter.
Two selectors can be used. The first selector must be
connected to the Digital I/O
connector via the 16445A. And if the second selector is used, it must be connected
to the first selector’s Control Output connector. See “SMU/PG Selector” on page
7-48.

To
use the selector, connect the selector to the B1500A, and check this check box.
Selector CH1/CH2 CH1 and CH2 indicates the channels 1 and 2 of the first selector respectively.
Selector CH3/CH4 CH3 and CH4 indicates the channels 1 and 2 of the second selector respectively.
SMU Assignment Specifies the SMU connected t
o the SMU inpu
t of the selector channel CH1, CH2,
CH3, or CH4.
Input/Output Path Specifies the connection status of the selector channel CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4.
If this field is set to Always SMU, the selector makes the path from Input SMU to
Output.
If th
is field is set to Normally PGU (AUX), the selector performs automatic
switching in every
test. The selector normally makes the path from Input PGU to
Output and makes the path from Input SMU to Output only for the test which uses
the SMU connected to the Input SMU terminal.
The CH1 and CH3 also provides the PGU Open status which is set by using the
Advanced window
of the Measurement Setup.
