KCON setup
After connecting the system as indicated in
, run the KCON utility to add the switch
matrix and test fixture to the system configuration. KCON is used to manage the configuration of
all instrumentation controlled by the Model 4200-SCS software. Once the matrix and test fixtures
have been added, and the instrument-to-matrix-to-pins connections have been defined, simply
specify an instrument terminal and test system pin, and KITE will automatically connect the three
using the matrix. Changes to the system configuration will only be necessary when changes to
instrument-to-matrix-to-pins wiring are made.
Follow the steps below to start KCON and modify the system configuration as described above.
