Executing Self-Test and Leak Test

Using the Self-Test Utility

8.Connect the cable from the 4155/4156 SMU port specified by the SMUm softkey (m=1 to 6) in step 5 to the E5250A input port specified by the IVn softkey (n=1 to 6) in step 4.

•Use Kelvin triaxial cable for Kelvin connection

•Use triaxial cable for non-Kelvin connection

9.Press the CONTINUE softkey to execute the Leak Test.

After the Leak Test is completed for the input port specified by the IVn softkey, the test result (PASS or FAIL) is displayed on the 4155/4156 screen. And the following softkeys are displayed:

Softkey	Description

REPORT CRT	Displays the Leak Test results on the 4155/4156 screen.

LEAK TEST	Returns to the LEAK TEST MENU.

To display the leak current measurement data on the 4155/4156 screen, press the REPORT CRT softkey.

10.To return to the LEAK TEST MENU, select the LEAK TEST softkey. And to perform the Leak Test for another input port, repeat steps 3 to 9.
