EasyEXPERT
Classic tests available for 4155/4156
• I/V Sweep, I/V-t Sampling, and Switching Matrix Control for 4155C/4156C
• I/V Sweep and Switching Matrix Control for 4155B/4156B
Desktop EasyEXPERT functions unavailable for 4155/4156
• Functions using SMU Series Resistor
• Functions using ASU (Atto Sense Unit)
• Functions using SCUU (SMU CMU Unify Unit)
• Functions using CMU (Capacitance Measurement Unit)
• Functions using SPGU (Semiconductor Pulse Generator Unit)
PGU can be used instead of SPGU for the I/V Sweep and I/V-t Sampling classic
tests. The Load Z function and the ALWG output are not supported. The Output
Impedance dialog box is available to set the output impedance of the PGU.
• Functions using WGFMU (Waveform Generator/Fast Measurement Unit) and
RSU (Remote-sense and Switch Unit)
