S540 Power Semiconductor Test System Administrative Guide 

Section 4: Maintenance 

S540-924-01 Rev. D / January 2019

 

4-15

Setting a custom system speed 

The 

LEGACY

 speed mode has been deprecated in KTE version 5.8.0. If you select this mode, the 

default system speed settings are used. 

If you need different system speed settings than those set at the factory, you can ask your field 

service engineer (FSE) to specify custom speed settings in the 

icconfig_<QMO>.ini

 file. Systems 

upgraded from an older Keithley Test Environment (KTE) version may not have a 

[SYSTEM SPEED 

MODE]

 section in their 

icconfig_<QMO>.ini

 file. This can be added, but is not necessary unless 

you want to change the settings.   

The system default NPLC setting is 

0.01

. However, this setting differs for some commands, 

source-measure unit (SMU) instruments, and ranges. See 

NPLC default differences

 (on page 4-15) 

for details. 

To set a custom default system speed mode, the FSE can add the following block to the top of 
the icconfig_<QMO>.ini file (example): 

[SYSTEM SPEED MODE] 
MODE=CUSTOM 
SOURCE_SETTLING=3 
NPLC=0.01 
ANALOG_FILTER=1 
DELAY_FACTOR=0 

If you have problems with correlation of data using the system speed settings from the factory, your 

FSE can add the following line to your 

icconfig_<QMO>.ini

 file to force the system to use the 

older error mode: 

TSP_ERROR_MODE OFF

 (in KTE version 5.6.5 or later). 

NPLC default differences 

There are some instances where the number of power line cycle (NPLC) default values may be 

different than what is specified in the 

icconfig_<QMO>.ini

 file or 

KI_INTGPLC

 setmode modifier: 

The 

meas

X

 command always measures with an NPLC of 

0.01

The default NPLC setting for the 

intg

X

 and 

sintg

X

 commands is 

0.1

 NPLC, except when 

using the 10 nA and lower ranges on a 2636B (default NPLC of 

1

). 

The NPLC setting for measurements when running diagnostics is always
