Introduction to this manual
The purpose of this manual is to provide detailed tutorials to help you achieve success with your
Keithley Instruments Model 707B or 708B Semiconductor Switching Matrix. The basics of the two
simplest interfaces, the front panel and the web interface, are provided to familiarize you with the
instrument. The tutorials build upon one another, so we recommend that you read this manual from
Section 1 to the end of Section 3. Select and run all examples in Sections 4, 5, and 6 that are relevant
to your intended use and to the equipment you are using.
Some of the examples in this manual may use unfamiliar commands and concepts. For detailed
information about these, refer to the Models 707B and 708B Reference Manual (part number
707B-901-01) on the Product Information CD-ROM that came with your instrument.
Models 707B and 708B applications
Unlike a standalone instrument, the Keithley Instruments Models 707B and 708B are switching
systems that are used to intelligently connect other instruments to multiple devices. This manual
provides application examples that guide you through several common instrument-to-device switching
scenarios. These applications are presented after the summary information about the switching
matrix, and include:
•
Working with the Model 4200-SCS
Instruments Model 4200 Semiconductor Characterization System to a Model 707B or 708B. This
enables the Model 4200-SCS to automate measurements to multiple devices for DC, C-V, and
pulsed I-V characterization.
•
Working with the Series 2600A
with a Keithley Instruments Series 2600A System SourceMeter
sweep across a diode.
•
Working with the Series 2400
707B or 708B with a Keithley Instruments Model 2400 SourceMeter instrument, including how to
use digital I/O triggering to synchronize source and measure actions between the Model 707B or
708B and the Model 2400. The concepts in these examples can be applied when used using the
Model 707B or 708B with other SCPI-based instruments.
