Introduction
This chapter describes the basic functions and features of Agilent B1500A
Semiconductor Device Analyzer, and consists of the following sections:
• “Overview”
• “Front View”
• “Rear View”
• “Measurement Units”
• “Specifications”
• “Accessories and Options”
NOTE Application Library
Agilent B1500A has installed Agilent EasyEXPERT software as the user interface.
The EasyEXPERT contains an application library that is a set of test definitions. The
application test can be performed by selecting a test definition and setting the test
condition for the actual DUT (device under test).
All test definitions are just sample. If the samples damage your devices, Agilent
Technologies is NOT LIABLE for the damage.
NOTE Utility
The folder C:\Program Files\Agilent\B1500\EasyEXPERT\Utilities stores the
following sample programs.
• Prober control programs
• 4155/4156 setup file converter
• sleep.exe program
For more details, see Chapter 10, “Application Library and Utilities.”
