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).

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.
Each selector has two channels. If you want to add two more channels for a total of four, you can order 16440A option 003, which is called the "selector expander". The selector and selector expander have identical circuits. The only difference is the channel naming.

You can use two inputs for one selector, and four inputs for two selectors. b. You can use two outputs for one selector and four outputs for two selectors. Selector output is either one of the PGU outputs or the SMU output. Agilent 16440A User’s Guide, Edition 4...
This section provides information for trained service personnel to repair the selector. When a replaceable part, which is shown with the Agilent part number in this section, needs to be replaced, order the parts from the nearest Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office.
Function Agilent 16440A switches either a SMU or PGU to the associated output port. You can expand to 4 channels by adding an additional 16440A. The channel 1 PGU port provides "PGU OPEN" function, which can disconnect the PGU by opening a semiconductor relay.
