Function Details
Standby Function
To Use Standby Function
To start the standby output, click the Standby ON button on the Standby Channel
Definition window. However, if no channel has been defined as the standby channel,
the standby mode cannot be turned ON. In the standby state, the Standby ON
indicator appears at the bottom of the EasyEXPERT main screen. The Standby
Channel Definition window is opened by clicking the Standby button on the main
screen.
To stop the standby output, click the Standby OFF button on the Standby Channel
D
efinit
ion window.
In the standby state, you can change the setting parameters for non-standby channels
without chan
ging the operation state. However, if you modify the settings for the
standby channels, the operation state is changed from the standby state to the idle
state.
In the standby state, the following functi
ons are set to OFF.
• SMU filter
• Series resistor
In the standby state, the following
functio
ns cannot be performed.
• Diagnostics
• Self-test
• Self-calibration (SMU calibration and CMU calibration)
• SMU zero offset measurement
• ASU connection path change
In the standby state, self-calibration is not performed even if auto calibration is set to
ON. Also
the state can
not be changed to the standby state while self-calibration is
being performed.
When the workspace is opened, it will be in the idle state.
If the workspace or EasyEXPERT is closed while the standby
mode is ON, the mode
is automatically changed to OFF in the closing process.
If Windows session is stopped while the standby mode is ON, the mode is not
changed to OFF in
the closing process.
