This function is available for the Agilent B1500 installed with the atto sense and
switch unit (ASU).
Disables or enables the connection status indicator (LED) of the ASU. This
command is effective for the specified channel.
Syntax SAL chnum,mode
Parameters chnum : Channel number of the SMU connected to the ASU. Integer expression.
1 to 10 or 101 to 1001. See Table 4-1 on page 4-16.
mode : 0: Disables the indicator.
1: Enables the indicator. Default setting.

SAP
This function is available for the Agilent B1500 installed with the atto sense and
switch unit (ASU). This command is not effective when the High Voltage indicator
of the Agilent B1500 has been lighted.
Controls the connection path of the ASU. Switches the ASU input resource
(B1511B/B1517A or the instrument connected to the AUX input) to be connected to
the ASU output. This command is effective for the specified channel.
After the Agilent B1500 is turned on or the CL command is entered, the ASU output
will be connected to the SMU connector side, but the SMU will not be enabled yet.
After this command is entered with path=1, the SMU specified by chnum cannot be
used. After this command is entered with path=0 or the CN command is entered, the
SMU output will appear on the ASU output.Then the SMU output will be 0 V.
NOTE To use ASU
To use the ASU, connect it to the correct SMU properly before turning the Agilent
B1500 on. For the connection, see User’s Guide.
The ASU will add the connection switch function described above to the B1500 and
the 1 pA measurement range to the SMU. Use the SAR function to enable/disable
the 1 pA range for the auto ranging operation.
Remember that the series resistor in the SMU connected to the ASU cannot be used.
