Validate Configuration
Validate Configuration
tests
the system configuration to determine if there are configuration conflicts
or communication problems between the instrumentation and the 4200A-SCS. This test can validate
most of the supported internal and external instruments. However, the following instruments are not
automatically verified when the configuration is validated:
•
Probe stations
•
Test fixtures
•
General purpose test instruments
When you run Validate Configuration, KCon communicates with the instruments to verify that the
physical configuration matches the KCon
defined configuration. The report is displayed in the KCon
Work Area. If KCon detects configuration conflicts, it displays corresponding error messages in the
Work Area.
Clarius automatically validates the configuration when it starts up. If Clarius detects conflicts, it
displays an error message that instructs you to resolve the conflicts using KCon.
