In This Manual

This documentis the self-paced training manual to help you to understand what is Keysight

B1500A, what functions the B1500A has, how to use the B1500A, and what applications

the B1500A contributes to.

• Module 1. Introduction

This module explains the product concept and the key features of the B1500A/

EasyEXPERT. You will learn about what is the B1500A.

• Module 2. Basic Measurement

This module explains the basic I-V sweep measurement function and the cabling and

fixturing issues. You will learn how to measure I-V curves in the course exercises.

• Module 3. Low Current Measurement

This module explains the low current measurement technique. You will learn how to

measure the low current in the course exercises.

• Module 4. Capacitance Measurement

This module explains the capacitance measurement function. You will learn how to

measure the capacitance in a course exercise.

• Module 5. SPGU Control and Applications

This module explains the SPGU Control classic test. You will learn how to create the

classic test setup and the applications using SPGU in the course exercises.

Class Exercises

Class exercises use the test setup listed below. The test setup data are only examples and

included in the Demo.xpg file stored in Keysight B1500 Series Product Reference

CD-ROM.

NOTE

Demo.xpg file

Demo.xpg file is required to create the Demo preset group which contains the test setup

data used by the class exercises. And it is stored in the \data folder on Keysight B1500

Series Product Reference CD-ROM.

The Demo preset group should be created before starting the class exercise. To create the

preset group, launch EasyEXPERT and import the file by using the Preset Group Import

dialog box opened by clicking My Favorite Setup > Preset Group > Import Preset Group.

The test setup data are only examples for the class exercises.

NOTE

.xtd files

The \data folder stores some .xtd files. They are the application test definitions used by

some class exercises. To use the definition file, import the file by using the Test Definition

Import dialog box opened by clicking Library > Import Test Definition. The test definition

data are only examples for the class exercises.

NOTE

.xtr files

The \data folder also stores some .xtr files. They are the sample test results created by

executing the test setup which has the same name as the result data. To display these

sample test results, import the files by using the Test Result Import dialog box opened by

clicking Results > Transport Data > Import.

NOTE

About sample data

The test setup data described in this manual are only examples. If these example data

damage your devices, Keysight is NOT LIABLE for the damage.
