To Use Programs for Keysight 4142B
Keysight E5260/E5270 supports most of the commands and the data output format
supported by the Keysight 4142B Modular DC Source/Monitor. To reuse the
programs created for the Keysight 4142B, confirm the following and modify the
programs if necessary.
• To remove all unsupported commands
Some commands are not supported owing to differences in the modules
supported by each instrument. Refer to
Table 1-6 that shows the commands not
supported by the E5260/E5270. Do not use these commands.
Perform the linear search or binary search measurement as a substitute for the
analog search measurement that needs the analog feedback unit (AFU).
Use a source/monitor unit (SMU) instead of the voltage source/voltage monitor
unit (VS/VMU). Note that the SMU cannot perform the differential voltage
measurements.
• FL command
The initial setting of the FL command is different. It is ON for the Keysight
4142B, and OFF for the E5260/E5270.
Add the FL1 command to use the filter.
• AV command
This command is used to set the A/D converter of the E5260/E5270.
To set the high resolution ADC installed in the E5270B, use the AAD and AIT
commands.
