Configuring the system
You do not need to perform system configuration operations if you use only internal instruments, such
as factory-installed SMUs, preamplifiers, and the ground unit (GNDU). The 4200A-SCS detects
internal instruments and configures the system appropriately for local operation.
However, if you add supported external instruments such as switch matrices, the 4200A-CVIV
Multi-Switch, external GPIB instruments, or probe stations, you must configure the system so that the
Clarius software and KXCI software can use these resources. Also, if you need remote operation of
the 4200A-SCS through KXCI, you must further configure the system.
Perform these configurations using the Keithley Configuration Utility (KCon). Start the tool by
selecting the KCon icon on your desktop.

See “Keithley Configuration Utility (KCon)” in Model 4200A-SCS Setup and Maintenance User's
Manual for details on using KCon.
If KCon is running, you cannot start Clarius or KXCI. If Clarius or KXCI is already running, you can
start KCon but cannot save any system configuration changes that you may make.
