Abstract

A novel digitized measuring system is disclosed for the measurement of the DC parameters of a wide variety of electrical and electronic devices. A stimulus measuring unit (SMU) is disclosed which can alternatively act as a voltage source and current monitor or as a current source and voltage monitor. A device under test (DUT) can be characterized without changing external connections and the resulting data can be manipulated and displayed in a wide variety of graphical or tabular forms.
