Control RPM switching
Before using an RPM, configure the 4200A-
SCS by doing the steps in “Update the RPM
configuration” in
Model 4200A-SCS Setup and Maintenance
. This properly associates the instruments
connected to each RPM.
There are two methods to control RPM switching:
•
ITM operation using automatic switching (after doing the steps in “Update the RPM
configuration”)
•
UTM testing from within the user module, use the LPT function
rpm_config
You must update the RPM configuration in KCon before using the RPM to control switching.
If you do not, corrupt test data may result due to incorrect switch settings in the RPM.
