Power Supply Software FAQs

There are many programming languages, such as Python, MATLAB, C#, and C++. The easiest and quickest to implement will be to use power supply software, such as the PathWave BenchVue power supply software, that allows for instrument control by a simple drag-and-drop option.

Yes, you can use the power supply software to help you create commands or command sequences that can then be exported to many programming languages. In PathWave BenchVue, the sequence can be created and then brought into Test Flow.

The easiest and quickest way to do this is to use the power supply software's Test Flow application to save time and achieve faster results—all without ever having to write a computer program. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface in Test Flow enhances your workflow with the ability to create custom, automated test sequences, a task that typically requires days using traditional programming languages. Moreover, you can obtain a deeper understanding of your data using Test Flow’s built-in analysis tools, which log and graph with selectable x-axis and y-axis formats and much more. With the Test Flow capabilities, you can create test sequences without any programming on your power supply software.

Yes, the PathWave BenchVue power supply software allows intuitive control and measurement of hundreds of different power supply models. More 3rd party power supplies can also be controlled using SCPI commands through LAN or GPIB. Here's the complete list of power supplies and other BenchVue-supported instruments.

Yes, the PathWave BenchVue Complete Control Collection, which includes power supply software, among many other test instrument types such as function generators, digital multimeters (DMMs), oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and others, is a standardized PC software that helps to configure a wide range of instrument controls and measurements that all organizations and test teams need - to ensure accuracy and productivity. You could ultimately reduce your overall system bring-up time and increase team productivity by implementing standardized software across your organization.

The W7802B PathWave WaferPro A-LFNA Measurement and Programming includes:

• Seamless integration with the PathWave WaferPro measurement platform
• Advanced data display and analysis, enabling noise data comparisons and modeling with respect to bias current
• Automated control of all major wafer probing systems
• A-LFNA module features DC measurements, 1/f noise, random telegraph noise (RTN) and data analysis
• Flexible hardware averaging for throughput-accuracy tradeoffs
• Multiple built-in biasing schemes for flicker noise characterization
• Measured data compatible with Keysight device modeling software
• Guided system calibration procedure
• PEL and Python measurement routine language support
• Ton and Toff analysis for RTN
  

The Advanced Low-Frequency Noise Analyzer (A-LFNA) software and user interface is built on top of the PathWave WaferPro measurement platform. Engineers can now manage and automate the full wafer level characterization in a measurement system that is both flexible and expandable. Just as before, those using PathWave WaferPro can program and sequence high-speed DC, capacitance and RF as parameter measurements, all the while automating wafer prober control. Now with the noise measurement module, they can add noise measurements and analysis to the test suite.

The A-LFNA’s built-in measurement routines make DC and noise measurements turnkey. For example, to measure noise on an N-Type MOSFET, the system automatically chooses the source and load impedances that will best expose the intrinsic device noise. The engineer can accept these recommended settings or make changes, and a noise measurement is initiated. The A-LFNA then measures noise power spectral density (1/f noise) and noise in the time domain (RTN). Resulting data is plotted using a “multiplot” data display window. Various window tabs help facilitate common tasks such as evaluating device DC operating point and measuring the slope of the power spectral density curve.

The W7801B PathWave WaferPro WGFMU Measurement includes:

• Seamless integration with WaferPro Express measurement platform
• Advanced data display and analysis, enabling noise data comparisons and modeling with respect to bias current
• Automated control of all major wafer probing systems
• Multiple built-in biasing schemes for flicker noise characterization
• Measured data compatible with Keysight device modeling software
• Ton and Toff analysis for RTN

The W7801B PathWave WaferPro Express WGFMU Measurement bundle efficiently performs at a low cost, an automated Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) measurement on the wafer using the B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer with the B1530A Waveform Generator/Fast Measurement Unit (WGFMU).
