C-V testing
Two prober cable kits include the cable adapters needed to connect the SubMiniature version A (SMA) cables of
the Model 4210-CVU to the female triax connectors on the bulkhead of the prober. Figure 4 shows how to make the
connections. A torque wrench is supplied with the Model 4210-CVU.

Pulse I-V testing using the Keithley Model 4200-PIV-A
Perform 4-pin pulse I-V measurements using four prober cable kits with the Keithley Instruments Model 4200-PIV-A
package, which includes a scope card, pulse generator card, software, and other components.
Use the supplied cables and connectors to connect the Model 4200 to the bulkhead of the prober (see Figures 5
and 6).
Figure 5 shows the Model 4200 connections to the prober and the trigger connection between the scope card
(Model 4200-SCP2) and pulse generator card (Model 4205-PG2). Figure 6 identifies the cables and adapters used
to make the connections.
NOTE
Figure 5 shows source-measure units (SMUs) that are not equipped with preamps.
These SMUs use the supplied triax cables that are terminated with a miniature triax
connector on one end and a standard triax connector on the other end. If your SMUs
are equipped with preamps, use the supplied cables that are terminated with standard
triax connectors on both ends. Figure 6D shows both cables.
NOTE
Four prober cable kits are required for 4-pin, PIV-A pulse I-V testing.
