3- 28 Agilent 41000 Administration Guide, Edition 3
Using Agilent iPACE Verification Tool
Using Batch Mode
If the system contains a source monitor unit (SMU) that is connected to the Agilent B2200
switch mainframe by using a Kelvin triaxial cable, the switch module output ports work as
the couple output port. See
Figure 3-14. You can use one of the following SMUs for the
voltage source and the voltmeter.
(1) SMU connected to the Agilent B2200 by the Kelvin cable
(2) SMU connected to the Agilent B2200 by the triaxial cable (non-Kelvin)
The connection of Figure 3-14 (2, non-Kelvin) will be made by using the switch module.
The switch module and the instrument will be controlled by the program.
For the 48(24) pin configuration, the batch file should be created upon the following
connections of the voltage source (VS) and the voltmeter (VM). For each cases, the output
voltage (10 V) will be applied to the pin 11(10), 23(22), 35(34), or 47(46).
• VS to 11-12 (10-12), and VM to 1-2 through 9-10 (2-4 or 6-8)
• VS to 23-24 (22-24), and VM to 13-14 through 21-22 (14-16 or 18-20)
• VS to 35-36 (34-36), and VM to 25-26 through 33-34 (26-28 or 30-32)
• VS to 47-48 (46-48), and VM to 37-38 through 45-46 (38-40 or 42-44)

NOTE DC Voltage Measurement Result
Without any system error, the measurement result (Vmeas) should be almost equal to the
Vcalc value given by the following formula. R is the resistance (about 50 kΩ) between the
test fixture pins, Ro is the resistance between the pins during the voltmeter is connected,
Ro=0 if the voltmeter is connected as shown in
Figure 3-14 (2), Rsf is the resistance (about
10 kΩ, depends on SMU) between Force and Sense in the SMU, n is an odd number of 1 to
9 that means the number of resistors between the measurement pin and the ground.
For
the 24 pin configuration, multiply R by two, and then n is 2 or 6.
Vcalc (V) = 10 × (n × R + Ro) / (10 × R + Ro)
Ro (Ω) = 1 / (1/R + 1/Rsf)
