See Keysight EasyEXPERT User’s Guide for the functions available for Keysight
EasyEXPERT software. See Programming Guide for the functions available for the
GPIB remote mode. See Keysight B1530A User’s Guide for using the WGFMU.
GNDU - Ground Unit
Keysight B1500A is equipped with the ground unit (GNDU). The GNDU is a 0 V
constant voltage source, and used for the reference of measurement ground. Also the
GNDU can sink up to ± 4.2 A, so it is effective for using the HPSMU (high power
SMU). Figure 2-1 is a simplified circuit diagram of GNDU.
