Step 7. Set matrix card properties
The matrix card properties set the connections:
• Between the measurement instrumentation and the matrix card
• Between the matrix card and the test system (prober or test fixture)
The number of pins defined in the properties for a probe station or test fixture determines the pins
that are available to assign to a switch matrix card column. Make sure the number of pins assigned
is appropriate for your system. Refer to Add a test fixture (on page 2-24) or Add a probe station (on
page 2-25) for additional information.
To set matrix card properties:
1. In the System Configuration list, expand the switching matrix.
2. Select the card. The properties are displayed. Each row and column has a list to set the card
properties. If the row-column connection scheme is selected, instruments are assigned to the
rows and the test fixture pins or probe pins are assigned to the columns. If the instrument card
connection scheme is selected, both instrumentation and test fixture/probe pins are assigned to
columns.
The following figure shows the 7071 Matrix Card Properties settings that are required to support
the physical connections that are shown in Row-column or instrument card settings (on page
2-13).
3. Select from the lists to connect the rows and columns to instrument terminals and prober or test
fixture pins. Note that card properties must match the actual physical connections to the matrix
card.
In the figure below, the lists labeled A to H correspond to the eight rows of the Keithley
Instruments matrix cards that are compatible with the Series 700 Switching System. The lists
labeled 1 to 12 correspond to the 12 columns of these matrix cards.
4. Select Validate.
Prober or test-fixture pins are always connected to matrix-card columns.
