SMU-Per-Pin Parallel Testing with TSP-Link Technology
TSP-Link is a channel expansion bus that enables multiple
2601B-PULSE SMUs to be inter-connected and function
as a single, tightly-synchronized, multi-channel system.
The 2601B-PULSE’s TSP-Link technology works together
with its TSP technology to enable high-speed, SMU-per-
pin parallel testing. Unlike other high-speed solutions,
such as large ATE systems, the 2601B-PULSE achieves
parallel test performance without the cost or burden of
a mainframe. The TSP-Link based system also enables
superior flexibility, allowing for quick and easy system
re-configuration as test requirements change. TSP-Link
uses a standard 100BASE-T ethernet cable, enabling you
to connect not only multiple 2601B-PULSE SMUs, but
other TSP-based instruments in a master-subordinate
configuration that operates as one integrated system.
TSP-based instruments include the Keithley Graphical
SourceMeter SMUs (2450, 2460, 2461, 2470), other
Series 2600B System SourceMeter SMU instruments, the
Keithley DMM7510 and DMM6500 Graphical Sampling
Multimeters, and the Keithley DMM/Switch instruments,
such as the Series 3700A Switch/Multimeter system and
DAQ6510. The TSP-Link expansion bus supports up to 32
TSP-Link nodes, making it easy to scale a system to fit an
application’s particular requirements.
Instrument Control Start-up Software
KickStart instrument control/start-up software enables users to start making measurements in minutes without
programming. In most cases, users merely need to make some quick measurements, graph the data, and store the data to
disk for later analysis in software environments such as Microsoft Excel. KickStart offers:
• Instrument configuration control
to perform I-V characterization
• Native X-Y graphing, panning, and
zooming
• Spreadsheet/tabular viewing
ofdata
• Saving and exporting of data for
further analysis
• Saving of test setups
• Screenshot capturing of graphs
• Annotating of tests
• Sending and receiving data using
a command line dialog
• HTML help
• GPIB, USB 2.0, Ethernet
compliance
KickStart start-up software lets users be ready to take measurements in minutes.
