Tektronix Keithley 4200A-SCS - Keysight Model 8110 A Pulse Generator Signal Path; Use Kcon to Add a Switch Matrix to the System

Keysight Model 8110A pulse generator signal path
The following figure shows the HI signal path through the 7174A matrix card. However, the pulse
generator can also be used with other matrix card types.
Note that the pulse generator LO is not routed through the matrix card. A separate external return
path is required. The chassis of the pulse generator is output LO. As shown in the following figure,
use a banana plug cable that is terminated with a spade lug on one end. Connect the banana plug
end of the cable to the Common banana jack of the GNDU, and attach the spade lug end to a chassis
screw on the pulse generator.

Use KCon to add a switch matrix to the system
You use Keithley Configuration Utility (KCon) to manage the configuration of all instrumentation
controlled by the 4200A-SCS software. To use the 4200A-SCS to control a switch matrix, you must
add the switch matrix to the system configuration using KCon.
If you are testing discrete device under test (DUTs), you must use the switch matrix with a test fixture.
If you are testing a wafer, you must use the switch matrix with a probe station. The test fixture or
probe station is also added to the system configuration using KCon.
You specify physical instrument-to-card and card-to-prober or fixture connections in KCon.
