When using interactive test modules (ITMs) for DUT testing, you can configure RPM switching in
KCon. After you connect the PMU, SMUs, and CVU to the RPM, update the RPM configuration in
KCon. When you then open Clarius, the system detects the instrument connections to the RPM.
When an ITM is run, Clarius automatically closes the appropriate switches to connect the PMU, SMU,
or CVU to the output of the RPM. Use the following procedure to configure RPM switching.
For more information on adding or removing RPM connections, refer to “Model 4225-RPM” in the
Model 4200A-SCS Pulse Card (PGU and PMU) User's Manual.
To update RPM configuration:
1. Turn off system power.
2. Disconnect line power.
3. Connect the correct RPM to the correct PMU channel.
4. If the system contains SMUs: Connect any SMU to any RPM using either one or two triaxial
cables. Repeat for all RPMs in the system.
5. If the system contains a CVU: Connect CVU High to one RPM, and CVU Low to the other RPM.
6. Turn on the system power.
7. Start KCon.
8. Select Update.
9. Select Save.
10. Exit from KCon.
Update the 4200A-CVIV configuration
For more information on adding or removing 4200A-CVIV connections, refer to “Configure and install
the 4200A-CVIV” in the Model 4200A-CVIV User’s Manual.
To update CVIV configuration:
1. Turn off system power.
2. Disconnect the 4200A-CVIV from the 4200A-SCS.
3. Make connections to the 4200A-CVIV.
4. Turn on system power.
5. Start KCon.
6. Select Update.
7. Select Save.
Save
Saves changes to the system configuration. If you do not save the configuration changes, KCon
returns to the last saved configuration when you exit.
