Introduction
Measurement Units
NOTE To connect ASU
The specifications are satisfied and guaranteed for the exclusive combination of the
ASU and the HRSMU. So confirm the serial number of the ASU and connect it to
the dedicated HRSMU properly.
To connect the ASU, see “To Connect ASU” on page 3-17.
To confirm the serial number, see “ASU” on page 4-43.
NOTE Before using 1 pA range
The measurement channel connected to the ASU supports the 1 pA range. To use the
1 pA range, set the 1 pA fixed range or the 1 pA limited auto ranging.
The B1500A automatically performs the compensation of the data m
easured by the
1 pA range and returns the compensated data. You can use either the pre-stored
offset data or the pre-measured offset data.
To measure the offset data, perform the self-calibration before starting the
measurement for a D
UT. This offset data is temporarily memorized until the
B1500A is turned off. See “Module Self Calibration” on page 4-35.
