Data Sheet

Introduction
Agilent 4155C and 4156C
Basic Functions
• Set measurement and/or stress
conditions
• Control measurement and/or stress
execution
• Perform arithmetic calculations
• Display measured and calculated
results on the LCD display
• Perform graphical analysis
• Store and recall measurement
setups, and measurement and
graphical display data
• Dump to printers or plotters for
hardcopy output
• Perform measurement and analysis
with built-in instrument BASIC
• Self test, Auto calibration

Configuration
The 4155C and 4156C both come
standard with I/CV 2.1 Lite
automation software. A PC-based
instrument controller with I/CV Lite
preinstalled and an Agilent 82357A
USB/GPIB interface are also included
with the standard configuration. You
have the option of deleting the
controller and cable from your order,
but I/CV Lite is always included with

both instruments. If you want the full
version of I/CV 2.1, you can request
the E5240BU upgrade kit when you
order a 4155C or 4156C. For more
information about the differences
between I/CV 2.1 Lite and I/CV 2.1,
please refer to the Agilent I/CV 2.1
Technical Overview, publication
number 5988-8474EN.

Hardware
Specification Condition
The “supplemental” information and
“typical” entries in the following specifications are not warranted, but provide
useful information about the functions
and performance of the instruments.

The measurement and output accuracy
are specified at the rear panel connector terminals when referenced to the
Zero Check terminal under the following con-ditions:
1. 23° C ±5° C (double between 5° C to
18° C, and 28° C to 40° C if not noted
otherwise)
2. After 40 minutes warm-up

3. Ambient temperature change less
than ±1° C after auto calibration
execution.
4. Integration time: medium or long
5. Filter: ON (for SMUs)
6. Kelvin connection (for HRSMU,
HPSMU, and GNDU)
7. Calibration period: 1 year
