Operation

This section is organized into the following two sections:
• Attaching a socket module onto the 16442A.
• Mounting and wiring DUT on the socket module.
Select the proper environment to execute the measurements. Place the 16442A on a
flat surface. The 16442A shields from electromagnetic interference, but Agilent
Technologies recommend that the measurement is performed in as noiseless
environment as possible for more stable and accurate measurement results.
You place the DUT into the provided socket modules in the 16442A, then measure
the dc characteristics by using the connected measurement units.
To prevent electric shock, be sure to connect the cable between the interlock
(Intlk) terminals of measurement instrument and the 16442A before
performing measurements.
Do not operate the 16442A while the High Voltage indicator is lit. Dangerous
voltages of up to 200 V may be present on the connection between measurement
units and DUT.
Do not get connection cables caught in the lid of the 16442A during
measurements. Dangerous voltage of up to 200 V may be present on the
connection cables.
To prevent damage to instrument or DUT, do not remove or attach DUT in the
16442A when voltage or current is present.
Do not touch any metal surface that is in the circuit path. Oil, perspiration, and dirt
prevent good electric contact and degrade measurement accuracy.
After setting up the 16442A and DUT, confirm that the connections are correct. Shut
lid of the 16442A to close switches of the interlock (Intlk) terminal.
