Product Overview

The Agilent / HP 4142B Modular DC Source / Monitor Mainframe features flexible, modular architecture, pulse measurement capabilites, high-speed measurement, eight plug-in module slots, SMU, HCU, HVU, VS/VMU, AFU, enhance throughput, and a program memory >2000 commands.

The Agilent/ HP 4142B Modular DC Source/Monitor Mainframe is a system-use dc measurement instrument especially designed for high-throughput dc semiconductor testers. A completely user-definable system component, the Agilent / HP 4142B features modular architecture that allows you to build a custom configuration to suit your measurement needs.

Eight plug-in module slots can accommodate any combination of modules. Choose from two types of source/monitor units (SMUs) to force or measure up to ±200 V and ±1 A: a high-current source/monitor unit (HCU) up to ±10 A, a high voltage source/monitor unit (HVU) up to ±1000 V, a voltage source/voltage monitor unit (VS/VMU), and an analog feedback unit (AFU). The Agilent / HP 4142B’s instrument command and measurement data storage capabilities, coupled with the high-speed HP-IB interface, minimize computer loading, enhance throughput, and simplify systemization.
