INTRODUCTION
This section contains introductory information
on
oper-
ating
your
Source Measure
Unit
and
is intended to help
you
get it
up
and
running
as quickly as possible. The in-
formation is divided (tabbed) into three parts:
Source-Measure Concepts
The information
in
this
part
will provide a basic
under-
standing of the Source Measure
Unit.
1.2
Operation
Overview:
An
overview will cover basic
operation, which includes its source
and
measure
capa-
bilities, the source-delay-measure
(SDM)
cycle,
operat-
ing
functions (de
and
sweep),
and
expands
on
its
sweep
capabilities.
1.3 Basic Circuit Configurations:
Simplified
circuits,
along
with
brief explanations, are
provided
to
show
the
Source Measure
Unit
configured as a
voltage source
and
as a current source.
1.4
Guard
and
Remote Sensing:
Provides basic
infor-
mation
on
its driven
guard
and
remote sensing capabili-
ties.

Power-Up: Summarizes
line voltage
and
frequency
settings,
and
power
connection requirements.
1.9 Connections: Explains
how
to connect
the
Source
Measure
Unit
to
the
Model8006
test fixture
and
how
to
make
test connections to DUT.
1.10 Source-Measure
Examples: Provides test examples
to demonstrate
de
operation
and
sweep
operation.
HP
BASIC
4.0
programs are also
provided
to demonstrate
the
tests over
the
mEE-488 bus.
