Multiple SMUs Control and Synchronization using the N1294A-032 Digital I/O Trigger Cable
Application Notes
The EasyEXPERT group+ software can control up to four units of the B2900A/B/BL SMUs simultaneously. When using multiple units of the B2900A/B/BL SMUs, you must use the N1294A-032 digital I/O trigger cable (trigger lines) to synchronize one unit to the others.
Connection diagram
Connect all of the SMUs with the 10833D GPIB-GPIB interface converter, then connect one of the SMU units to the PC's USB port via the 82357B-USB-GPIB interface converter. Alternatively, you can also use the USB Type AB or LAN cable connection to link up the PC to the SMU unit. For multiple units of SMUs synchronization with EasyEXPERT group+ software, you can use the N1294A-032 digital I/O trigger cable, and daisy chain up to a maximum of 4 SMUs.
