Instead of setting up the instrument hardware, the EasyEXPERT software focuses on the real task

at hand for the engineer ---device characterization. All that you need to do is to connect the

instrument to the device terminals as shown in the EasyEXPERT test parameters area.

The EasyEXPERT software also provides the classic test mode that allows the 4155/4156 like

measurement setup operation.

To Perform Easy Application Test

List of test record

Step 1: Click Application Test tab.

Step 2: Select one or more technology categories, and select a desired test from the list of tests

associated with the selected technology categories.

Step 3: Change the setup parameters (Device parameters and Test parameters) if you want.

Step 4: Connect DUT, and click the Start button. The B1500A starts the selected test.

Step 5: Analyze the measurement result data displayed on the Data Display window automatically

opened after the test.

The measurement result record is automatically stored in the internal hard disk drive when the

Auto Recode mode is ON.
