FAQs

How should I clean the front-panel display?

If you need to clean the front-panel LCD touchscreen display, 
use a soft dry cloth. If necessary, use a cloth dampened with an 
ammonia-free glass cleaner. Do not spray cleaning fl uids onto the 
display. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that you use only 
fi ngers on the touchscreen. Do not use sharp objects, such as a 
pen or pencil, to touch the touchscreen.

My data looks odd or is wrong. What should I do?

Verify the connections from the instrument to the test fi xture. Also 
check the connections from the DUT to the test fi xture socket.

I cannot unplug the mini-triaxial cable (4200A-MTRX) from 
the SMU. What should I do?

The mini-triaxial connector is a locking connector. To remove it, 
pull the knurled part of the connector back.

A confi guration error has been detected and I cannot 
launch Clarius. What should I do?

This occurs when the physical confi guration does not 
match the KCon defi ned confi guration or when there are 
communication problems between instruments and the 
4200A-SCS. 

To verify system confi guration:

1. Run 

KCon.

2. Select 

Validate Confi guration

.

This can also occur if the preamplifi er or RPM is removed or 
reconnected. 

To update the system confi guration:

1. Run 

KCon.

2. Select 

Upgrade Preamp, RPM, and CVIV Confi guration

.

Note that preamplifi ers are SMU specifi c. For example, a 
preamplifi er that is confi gured for SMU1 cannot be connected 
to SMU2.
