Validate
Validate tests the system configuration to determine if there are configuration conflicts or
communication problems between the instrumentation and the 4200A-SCS. This test can validate
most of the supported internal and external instruments. However, the following instruments are not
automatically verified when the configuration is validated:
• Probe stations
• Test fixtures
• General purpose test instruments
When you run Validate, KCon communicates with the instruments to verify that the physical
configuration matches the configuration defined in KCon. The report is displayed, including "Verify
Passed" messages if the configurations match and error messages if there are conflicts.
Clarius automatically validates the configuration when it starts up. If Clarius detects conflicts, it
displays an error message that instructs you to resolve the conflicts using KCon.
Update the configuration
After adding or removing a preamplifier, RPM, or 4200A-CVIV, you must update the system by
selecting Update.
Update the preamplifier configuration
For more information on adding or removing preamplifiers, refer to “Connections and configuration” in
Model 4200A-SCS Source-Measure Unit (SMU) User's Manual.
To update the preamplifier configuration:
1. Remove or reconnect a preamplifier to the SMU.
2. Select Update.
3. Select Save.
Update the RPM configuration
KCon Update must be run:
• Whenever an RPM is connected or disconnected from the 4200A-SCS
• Whenever RPM input connections for a SMU, CVU, or PMU are changed
