Agilent 4155B/4156B VXIplug&play Driver User’s Guide, Edition 4

Sample Application Programs for HP VEE
Using sample1.vee

Panel Display

The sample1.vee program displays the following data and graph. See Figure 4-6. 

Vth 

Displays Vth value of device 1 and 2. The data is in volts.

Vg-Id Graph 

Displays Id-Vg curve of device 1 and 2.

X, Y Index 

Displays wafer map of Vth value using the following 
characters.

 .:  Both device 1 and 2 test data are within the allowable range.

F1: Device 1 test data is out of the allowable range.

F2: Device 2 test data is out of the allowable range.

F3: Both device 1 and 2 test data are out of the allowable range.

The allowable range is specified by Dev1(2) Vth Min and 
Dev1(2) Vth Max input fields. Min field sets the lower limit, 
and Max field sets the upper limit.
