Function combo boxes
Although the KXCI GPIB command set is very similar to the Agilent 4145B GPIB command set,
the Model 4200-SCS and Agilent 4145B hardware are substantially different. The fundamental
difference is that the Model 4200-SCS hardware is modular, whereas the Agilent 4145B hardware
is fixed (refer to
Table 7-2
Hardware comparisons
Instrument type
Source measure units (SMUs)
Voltage monitor (VM)
Voltage source (VS)
KCON manages these hardware differences by allowing you to assign VM or VS functions to any
Model 4200-SCS SMUs, using the Function combo boxes. Refer to

An invalid function selection defaults to the SMU function.
Use to select the communications interface (GPIB or Ethernet).
With GPIB communication selected, use the GPIB Address to select the primary address
of the Model 4200-SCS when operating under KXCI control. This field is inactive when
Ethernet is selected.

Any SMU can be configured to function as a
VM. Up to 8 VMs are possible.
Any SMU can be configured to function as a
VS. Up to 8 VSs are possible.
Description
Instructs the Model 42XX-SMU to emulate the capabilities of an
Agilent 4145B Source Measure Unit.
Instructs the Model 42XX-SMU to emulate the capabilities of HP
4145B VM1 or VM2, as well as additional voltage monitors (VMs).
Up to eight VMs may be assigned (mapped) to SMUs, depending
on the number of SMUs in the system. A VM may be assigned any
number from 1 to 8, regardless of the number of SMUs in the
system. However, each VM number must be unique; duplicate VM
numbers are not allowed.
