Source Measure Unit Quickstart Guide

Video Transcript

• Plug in the unit using the power and USB-B cables provided.
• The Source Measure Unit has two SMU channels (voltage source – current sense) and two Vsense channels (voltage sense).
• Connect to one of the channels using a BNC connector.
• Connect the other end of the cable to a device. Here, we are using a resistor as an example.
• The Front Panel software is included with the Source Measure Unit.
• Choose an applied voltage and an appropriate current range.
• Turn on the SMU.
• A light will show next to the SMU channel when it is turned on.
• The measured voltage and current are displayed in the Front Panel software.
• Now connect the SMU channel to an LED.
• Apply a current-voltage (IV) sweep using the IV Curve software.
• Choose the sweep parameters and click Measure.
• The LED will light up and the IV sweep will be measured.
• The data can then be saved to file.
