Model 4200-CVU

Capacitance Voltage Unit (CVU) Quick Start Guide

Model 4200-CVU Quick Start Guide overview 

You can quickly begin using your Keithley Instruments Model 4200 Capacitance Voltage Unit (Model 4200-CVU) by 
performing the steps in this Quick Start Guide (QSG). For detailed information about the Model 4200-CVU, refer to 
the Complete Reference CD-ROM that came with your Model 4200-SCS Semiconductor Characterization System. 

The steps outlined below and detailed in the following pages will allow you to quickly begin using your  
Model 4200-CVU: 

 

Step 1: 

Unpack your Model 4200-SCS. 

 

Step 2: 

Make basic system connections (power cord, keyboard, and optional printer) 

 

Step 3: 

Connect a test fixture to the Model 4200-SCS (Model 4200-CVU card preinstalled)  

 

Step 4: 

Power-up and log on 

 

Step 5: 

Start the KITE software and select the “cv-cap” test in the default project 

 

Step 6: 

Define your test 

 

Step 7: 

Run the “cv-cap” test 

 

Step 8: 

View the data sheet 

 

Step 9: 

View the graph 

 

Step 10: 

Print and export data 

The example in this QSG uses the default project and runs the “cv-cap” test. If you wish to select a different project 
and/or test, you must modify the procedures accordingly. Figure 1 shows how the Keithley Interactive Test 
Environment (KITE) window will look after the default project and “cv cap” test are selected.
