To end the test before the run completes, select
Stop Test
at any time. This stops the test and turns
off the the galvanostat output. You can then select
End App
to exit the test and return to normal
SMU operation. If there is a long interval between consecutive samples, there may be a long delay
between selecting Stop Test and when the test stops, as the current operation must complete.
Make sure to select Stop Test before selecting End App. Stop Test turns off the instrument's
output.
Hazardous voltages may be present on all output and guard terminals. To prevent electrical
shock that could cause injury or death, never make or break connections to the instrument
while the power is turned on. Turn off the equipment from the front panel or disconnect the
main power cord from the rear of the instrument before handling cables. Putting the
equipment into an output-off state does not guarantee that the outputs are powered off if a
hardware or software fault occurs.

You can save the data generated from the test to the front-panel flash drive. The data is stored in a
.csv
file that also includes instrument information and parameter settings.

minutes.

1. Make sure your flash drive is inserted into the front panel USB port.
2. From the test application home screen, select
Save Data
.
3. Specify a file name, then select
OK
