The connect test
In the project navigator, double-click connect under the 4terminal-n-fet device to open the test. The
test is shown in
Figure 4-19 .

The connect test
The connect test is a UTM. KITE supports two types of test modules: ITMs and UTMs. A UTM, like
an ITM, has definition, sheet, graph, and status tabs. The operation of each tab, regardless of test
module type, is identical except for the definition tab.
On the UTM Definition tab, you can connect the UTM to a user module located within a user
library, and then set the module parameter values. This information is stored with the UTM when it
is saved. When a UTM is executed, the parameters will be passed from the UTM to the user
module and the user module will be executed. User libraries and user modules are created and
managed using the Keithley User Library Tool (KULT). For more information about user libraries
refer to the
Reference Manual, Keithley User Library Tool (KULT), page 8-1 .
In this example, the connect UTM is connected to the ConnectPins user module in the Matrixulib
user library. ConnectPins has a total of 17 parameters. The first parameter, OpenAll , will cause
ConnectPins to open all matrix crosspoints before closing any additional crosspoints.
NOTE
It is a good practice to open all the switch connections before making any new closures.
CAUTION
Inadvertent switch closures may damage device-under test (DUT).
The 16 additional parameters are comprised of eight terminal-pin pairs. As shown in Figure 4-20 ,
each specified terminal-pin-pair causes ConnectPins to make the desired matrix connection.
Because the instrument-to-matrix-to-pin connectivity was defined using KCON, KITE is able to
connect the specified instrument terminals to the appropriate tester pins automatically .
