Agilent E5270B Modules and Cables
The source monitor unit (SMU) modules are installed in the Agilent E5270B mainframe by
following the next rule.
1. Modules are installed in the mainframe from the slot 1 sequentially.
2. The HRSMUs are installed in the mainframe before the MPSMUs are installed.
3. The MPSMUs are installed in the mainframe before the HPSMUs are installed.
4. The HPSMU occupies two slots. So it is never installed in the slots 4-5.
Without the Kelvin option, the measurement cables should be connected as shown in Table
7-16. And this rule is effective for the non-Kelvin ports even if a Kelvin option is installed.
With the Kelvin options, the Agilent 16493K Kelvin triaxial cables and the Agilent
16494A triaxial cables will be connected as shown below. The maximum of four Kelvin
cables can be connected.
1. The first Kelvin cable is connected between the SMU installed in the largest numbered
slot and the
Agilent B2200 input port 7-8.
2. The second Kelvin cable is connected between the SMU installed in the next large
numbered slot and the Agilent B2200 input port 5-6.
3. The third Kelvin cable is connected between the SMU installed in the next large
numbered slot and the Agilent B2200 input port 3-4.
4. The fourth Kelvin cable is connected between the SMU installed in the next large
numbered slot and the Agilent B2200 input port 1-2.
5. For the non-Kelvin ports, the triaxial cable is connected between the Force terminal of
the SMU installed in the smallest numbered slot and the Agilent B2200’s smallest
numbered input port. And this is repeated for the all SMU input ports.
