Test system connections
A typical test system for this application is shown in Figure 4-38. As shown, the Model 4200-SCS,
HP Model 8110A/81110A pulse generator (PGU), and the DUT are connected to the 7174A Low
Current Matrix Card. UTMs are used to control the switch matrix and the PGU. For details about
SMU, GNDU, and matrix card connections, refer to the Reference Manual, Appendix A, Creating
Project Prompts.
The 7174A matrix card is installed in the 707/707A or 708/708A Switching Matrix. The switch
matrix and PGU are controlled through the GPIB. Use the 7007 GPIB cables to connect the switch
matrix and PGU to the 4200-SCS. For details about GPIB connections, refer to the Reference
Manual, GPIB connections, page B-7.

KCON setup
For this tutorial, a Hewlett Packard Model 8110A/81110A pulse generator, Keithley Instruments
Model 707A Switching Matrix, Keithley Instruments Model 7174A Low Current Matrix Card, and a
test fixture must be added to the system configuration.
KCON is used to add external equipment to the test system. Follow the steps below to add these
components to the system configuration.
Detailed information about KCON can be found in the Reference Manual, Keithley CONfiguration
Utility (KCON), Section 7.
