About conversion
results
The setup file conversion is not complete. The following are the expected
differences. When you use the .XTS file, you will see differences in the operation,
performance, measurement result data, and so on.
• Channel number may be changed. For example, the HPSMU channel number is
5 for the 4155/4156 but 1 for the B1500A.
• Setup value is changed to the value available for the B1500A and EasyEXPERT.
• Voltage Source and Monitor Unit (two channels of VSU and two channels of
VMU) is converted to four channels of MPSMU.
• Pulse Generator Unit (PGU) setup is deleted.
• Unused module information is deleted.
• Functions only for the 4155/4156 are deleted.
• For converting the setup data which satisfies the following two conditions,
SMU5 is converted to HPSMU. Else, SMU5 is converted to MPSMU.
1. SMU6 information is not included in the setup data.
2. SMU5 information contains the value available only for the HPSMU.
If an inconvertible setup parameter is found during the setup file conversion, a
message will be displayed. If an inconvertible setup file is specified, the file
conversion is not performed for the file and a message will be displayed.
About conversion
results with option
/4155 or /4156
If the /4155 or /4156 option is specified, there are the following differences between
the conversion results.
• Channel number is not changed.
• Setup value will be changed to the value available for the 4155/4156 and
Desktop EasyEXPERT.
• VSU/VMU is converted to VSU/VMU respectively.
