See the 4200A-SCS Learning Center       , which is 

preinstalled on your system. Within the Learning Center, you 

will find instructional videos, PDFs, and HTML content. To 

access the Learning Center, click Help in the Clarius menu, 

press F1 while using Clarius, or select the desktop icon.
The 4200A-SCS Learning Center includes the following:

•  Instructional videos

: Contains basic and detailed 

information about using the system that will help you 

with the instrument.

• 

Clarius Manual:

 Provides comprehensive information 

about projects, tests, data analysis, data calculation, 

user libraries, and customizing Clarius.

•  Hardware manuals

 for setup and maintenance,  

source-measure units (SMUs), capacitance-voltage 

units (CVUs), pulse-measure units (PMUs) and   

pulse-generator units (PGUs), and prober and external 

instrument control.

•  Programming

 

guides

 for the library LPT, Keithley 

User Library Tool (KULT), and Keithley External Control 

Interface (KXCI).

•  Application notes

: Detailed applications that 

demonstrate specific applications.

•  Datasheets

: Technical data regarding the 4200A-SCS 

and related accessories.
