Performing System Setup and Compensation
System Configuration
SMU CH for Compensation Dialog Box
This dialog box is opened by clicking the SMU for Compensation button on the
Configuration dialog box, and is used to specify the SMU used for the
Compensation action.
In the default setting, the Compensation action will use the SMU specified by the
Drain Bias SMU CH field on the Configuration dialog box. For example, if 2 has
been set to this field, the Compensation action uses the SMU2 or the SMU installed
in the slot number 2.
However, if you specify a SMU on the SMU CH for Compensation dialog box, see
Table 3-6 , the Compensation action will use the SMU you specify, not the Drain
Bias SMU CH channel.
Table 3-6 SMU CH for Compensation
If you are using the DC source monitor other than the 4155B/C, you do not need to
specify the SMU. However, if you want to use the SMU other than the
Drain Bias
SMU CH channel, set the same value to the both fields. The Compensation action
will use the specified SMU.
If you are using the 4155B/C, specify two SMUs because the 4155B/C does not
have the Sense terminal. The Compensation action will use the specified two SMUs
for making the Kelvin connection.
Field Name Description
Force SMU (Slot No.) Channel number (slot number) of the SMU used for
the Kelvin connection Force.
Sense SMU (Slot No.) Enter the channel number (slot number) of the SMU
used for the Kelvin connection Sense.
