Using Agilent iPACE Verification Tool
Settling Time/Leakage Current Measurement
Execution Procedure
Perform the following procedure after the instrument self-test is completed as shown in
“Self-test” on page 3-9.
1. On the ‘iPACE Verification Tool’ window, click the ‘Verification’ tab, and select
Settling/Leak from the Test Item combo box. See
Figure 3-9.
2. Specify the voltage source by using Source.
The example in Figure 3-9 selects the SMU2.
3. Specify the switching matrix input port by using Input Port.
The example in Figure 3-9 selects the input port 2.
4. Specify the switching matrix output port by using Output Slot and Output Ch.
The example in Figure 3-9 selects the output port 2 of the switch module installed in
the slot number 2.
5. Click Run. A dialog box opens to prompt you for the measurement setup and the start
of the settling time/leakage current measurement.
Click Cancel to cancel the measurement, or click OK to start.
Clicking Break aborts the settling time/leakage current measurement and initializes the
instruments.
The result will be displayed on the ‘Report Window’ area. The result will be also
logged into the log file.
Wait until a dialog box opens to notify the measurement completion. Then click OK.
6. Repeat step 2 through 5 for the measurement paths you want to measure.
NOTE Measurement condition
Settling time/leakage current measurement condition is as follows.
Measurement mode Spot measurement
Total measurement time 100 sec (measurement repetition time)
Output voltage 10 V
Measurement range MPSMU or HPSMU: 1nA Limited Auto
HRSMU: 100 pA Limited Auto
Integration time 2 PLC
Leak value average of last ten measured points
The SMU specified in the Source combo box will measure current in this condition.
NOTE About measurement result data
ILeak value is given as the averaging value of the last ten measurement data.
Time value is given as the time until the current measurement value is stable.
