Clarius project example for probe sites
The following is a step-by-step procedure to configure the Clarius project to execute testing and
automatic wafer stepping to all programmed sites successfully. When the CM500 prober is connected
to the 4200A-SCS by GPIB interface, the 4200A-SCS is the GPIB master controller and the CM500 is
always in listening mode. The 4200A-SCS will send control commands to the CM500 to move the
prober to next site during the automatic testing. The interface commands are
PrInit
,
PrChuck
,
PrMovNxt
, and
PrSSMovNxt
. You will need to add these commands into the Clarius project.
