B2200 Switch Control
• Allows use of a probe card to facilitate probing of standardized device
modules (usually 24-pin configuration)
• Enables easy multiplexing between the triaxial outputs of SMUs and
the coaxial outputs of other (BNC-based) instruments and modules

Agilent B2200A/B2201A switching matrix can be controlled by B1500A/EasyEXPERT via GPIB.
EasyEXPERT provides the Switching Matrix Operation Panel for interactive control of B2200
independent from the test execution mode of B1500. And switch setup can be saved to a classic
test setup data. In the classic test, the switch setup is sent to B2200 when a measurement start
button is clicked.
B1500A/EasyEXPERT also provides the semi-auto prober control script. The semi-auto prober
can be controlled without programming. The prober control script supports the die move
operation by using the following first three procedures in the repeat measurement setup and adds
the subsite move operation by using the Subsite procedure in the quick test setup.
Prober control script:
•Start procedure
•Iteration procedure
•Final procedure
•Subsite procedure
