The waveforms for a calculation can be input channels (2) and waveforms that are stored in
memory as reference channels (4). For more information about ZTEC, refer to the 4200-SCS
Complete Reference, ZTEC User’s Manual, Chapter 2.
Ground unit (GNDU)
Basic characteristics
The ground unit (see Figure 1-26) provides convenient access to circuit COMMON, which is the
measurement ground signal shared by all installed 4200-SCS instrumentation. In addition, the
GNDU SENSE terminal provides access to the SMU SENSE LO signals.
Figure 1-26
Ground unit
Basic ground unit characteristics are summarized in Table 1-4.
Basic circuit configurations
Ground unit connections
Figure 1-27 shows how the various GNDU signals are related to the SMU signals. Note that the
GNDU FORCE signal is circuit COMMON. The GNDU SENSE terminal is connected to each SMU
SENSE LO signal through a unique auto-sense resistor.
When the GNDU SENSE signal is connected to a DUT, all measurements will be made relative to
this DUT connection.
