Introduction
Proper connection methods are critical to perform stable and accurate measurements using the PMU,
with or without the RPM. The guidelines in this chapter help prevent pulse voltage overshoot and
oscillations.
You can use the Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kits (4210-MMPC) to connect the 4200A-SCS to
perform pulse I-V measurements. These kits help maximize signal fidelity by eliminating the
measurement errors that often result from cabling errors. The prober cable kits include:
•
4210-MMPC-C Multi-Measurement (I-V, C-V, Pulse) Prober Cable Kit for Cascade Microtech
12000 prober series
•
4210-MMPC-S Multi-Measurement (I-V, C-V, Pulse) Prober Cable Kit for SUSS MicroTec
PA200/300 prober series
•
4210-MMPC-L Multi-Measurement (I-V, C-V, Pulse) Prober Cable Kit for Lucas Signatone
probers
•
4210-MMPC-W Multi-Measurement (I-V, C-V, Pulse) Prober Cable Kit for Wentworth
Laboratories probers
Connection guidelines
The following guidelines describe PMU common connections, shield connections, cable length, high
frequency connections, and prober chuck connections for the PMUs and PGUs.
