Emulating an Agilent™ 4142 on a Keithley™ 2600 series Source Measurement Unit

This paper presents the development of an emulation software downloadable onto a Keithley 2600 series SMU, allowing it to emulate the functionality of an Agilent 4142 unit. The emulation system was developed as a series of scripts written in Lua, the native scripting language for Keithley 2600 series. A two-folded validation procedure is presented to ensure the emulated commands perform as the original commands. Results show a nearly perfect match between both results, highlighting the validity of the developed emulation system.
