Objective

This lab shows how a single-point 

measurement can be done with 

an intuitive GUI and shallow menu 

tree on the B2900A Series of SMUs 

through the resistance measurement

Procedure overview

1. Change View mode to Single View

2. Use AUTO measurement operation

3. Turn off the channel output

LAB 1: Make a Resistance Measurement

Setup

1. Connect the yellow banana plug to Ch 1 Low Force terminal.

2. Connect the red banana plug to Ch 1 High Force terminal.

3. Clip the one lead of 1 kΩ Resistor with the black gold-plated tweezers.

4. Clip the other lead of 1 kΩ Resistor with the red gold-plated tweezers.

Demonstration

1. Change View mode to Single View

 

a. Press  

 repeatedly until Single View for 

  Channel 1 is shown in the display.

 

2. Use AUTO measurement operation

 

a. Rotate           to select Resistance measurement operation, and then press   
  to edit it. Then select            to set Resistance measurement operation to AUTO.

 

 

b. Press Ch1            to turn on Channel 1 Output relay.

 

c. Press            to perform a single point measurement.
