Appendix A: Using switch matrices
Model 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer Reference Manual
A-34
4200A-901-01 Rev. C / February 2017
You can connect the instrument terminals to one or more DUT pins. If the DUT pin number is less
than 1, then that connection is ignored (not performed), otherwise the specified instrument is
connected to the desired DUT pin. If you wish to connect an instrument to more than one DUT pin,
you may specify that instrument terminal again in the parameter list.
If the
OpenAll
parameter is less than one, then the matrix is NOT cleared before making
connections; if
OpenAll
is 1, then all previous matrix connections are cleared before making the new
connections.
Returned values are placed in the Analyze sheet and can be:
•
0 OK
.
•
-10000 (INVAL_INST_ID)
: The specified instrument ID does not exist. This generally means
that there is no instrument with the specified ID in your configuration.
•
-10001 (INVAL_PIN_SPEC)
: An invalid DUT pin number was specified.
•
-10003 (NO_SWITCH_MATRIX)
: No switch matrix was found.
•
-10004 (NO_MATRIX_CARDS)
: No matrix cards were found.
Example
To connect SMU1 to pin 7, SMU2 to pin 8, SMU3 to pin 12, SMU4 to pin 1, ground pin 15, connect the pulse
generator to pin 13, connect the CMTR to pins 9 and 10, and clear the previous connections:
ConnectPins(1, SMU1, 7, SMU2, 8, SMU3, 12, SMU4, 1, GNDU, 15 PGU1, 13, CMTR1, 9,
CMTR1L, 10)
