  • Page 8 User's Guide Agilent 16440A SMU/Pulse Generator Selector is one of the accessories available for Agilent 4155/4156 Semiconductor Parameter Analyzers. The selector is for automatically switching the unit (SMU or PGU) that is connected to a DUT pin according to the state (stress force state or measurement state).
  • Page 9 NOTE Inspecting the 16440A upon Receiving When the 16440A arrives at your site, make sure that nothing is missing or damaged. Unpack the carton, then check the contents against figure and table above. If anything is missing or damaged, contact your nearest Agilent Technologies sales office.
