1
The 4200A-SCS supports the Keithley Instruments Series 700 Switching System. Only one switch matrix can
be in the system configuration at a time.
2
You can add up to eight supported capacitance meters to the system configuration.
3
The 4200A-SCS supports a maximum of 16 pulse-generator unit (PGU) channels. You can combine single-
and dual-channel pulse generators. For example, if three dual-channel and five single-channel pulse
generators are used, the total number of PGUs is 11. For limits on maximum number of internal pulse
generators in a test, see “4200A-SCS power supply limitations” in the Model 4200A-SCS Pulse Card (PGU and
PMU) User's Manual.
4
For general information about using a probe station, refer to “Using a Probe Station” in Model 4200A-SCS
Prober and External Instrument Control.
5
The 4200A-SCS supports up to eight general-purpose instruments (GPIs). Two-terminal and four-terminal
types may be present in the system configuration simultaneously, but the total number of GPIs must be less
than eight.
Contact Keithley Instruments for the most recent list of supported external equipment.
Add a driver for unsupported equipment
If you need to control an instrument that is not supported by a standard Keithley Instruments driver
library, you can create an external instrument driver.
To learn more about creating external instrument drivers for the 4200A-SCS, refer to Keithley
Instruments Technical Note 2661, Creating External Instrument Drivers for the Model 4200-SCS.
Use KCon to add equipment to the 4200A-SCS
To use the 4200A-SCS to control an external instrument, you must add that instrument to the system
configuration.
The next topics describe general settings for adding equipment. Matrices and probers, however,
require additional steps.
For detail if you are adding a switch matrix, refer to “Using Switch Matrices” in Model 4200A-SCS
Prober and External Instrument Control.
