Introduction
Specifications
Specification Conditions
The measurement and output accuracy are specified at the rear panel connector
terminals when referenced to the Zero Check terminal. The B1530A WGFMU
measurement and output accuracy are specified at the output terminal of the RSU.
Accuracy is specified under the following conditions:
1. Temperature: 23 °C ± 5 °C
2. Humidity: 20 % to 60 %
3. After 40 minutes warm-up followed by self-calibration
4. Ambient temperature change less than ± 1 °C after self-calibration
execution,
not applicable for MFCMU
5. Measurement made within one hour after self-calibration ex
ecution,
not applicable for MFCMU and WGFMU
6. Calibration period: 1 year
7. SMU integration time setting:
1 PLC (1 nA to 1 A range, voltage range)
20 PLC (100 pA range)
50 PLC (1 pA to 10 pA range)
Averaging of high speed ADC: 128 samples per 1 PLC
8. SMU filter: ON
9. SMU measurement terminal conn
ection: K
elvin connection
10. WGFMU load capacitance: 25 pF or less
