The SPGU can be used in the classic test other than the C-V Sweep and the Switching Matrix
Control. So you can use the SPGU output while a measurement is performed. If you need the SPGU
output only, use the SPGU Control classic test. In this classic test, the single button triggers the
SPGU outputs, and the Data Display works as the progress monitor.
The SPGU provides two output mode, VPULSE (pulse generator mode) and ALWG (arbitrary linear
waveform generator mode). And the same mode must be set to the all output channels. The B1500A
can have the maximum of ten SPGU output channels.
The Advanced button opens the Advanced Setup dialog box. The dialog box is used to set the after
measurement settings and the 16440A selector semiconductor relay setting.
After Measurement Setting:
•Bias Hold after Measurement: Bias hold function ON or OFF.
Semiconductor Relays (16440A SMU/PG Selector):
•CH1: Default or PGU OPEN
•CH3: Default or PGU OPEN
The fields define the selector channel's switch condition during the measurement. Default means the
setting defined on the SMU/PG Selector screen of the Configuration window.
