Source-measure units
This section provides information about the 4200-SMU and 4210-SMU source-measure units and the
related instruments, including:
• 4200-SMU and 4210-SMU overview (on page 3-1): Discusses 4200-SMU and 4210-SMU basic
circuit configurations, operating boundaries, and connectors.
• Source-measure unit (SMU) with 4200-PA overview (on page 3-11): Details how the 4200-PA
extends 4200-SMU and 4210-SMU dynamic range, and describes basic circuit configurations,
operating boundaries, connectors, and mounting methods.
• Ground unit (GNDU) overview (on page 3-19): Provides basic information about using the ground
unit.
• Source-measure concepts (on page 3-23): Provides information on guarding, remote sensing,
sink operation, and sweep concepts.
