How it works

The HP 4155B can perform staircase sweep measurement, pulse sweep measurement, and sampling time-domain measurement using its measurement units and units in the HP 41501B expander without changing connections. Setup and measurement can be entered from front-panel keys, a keyboard, or GPIB using SCPI commands. The HP 4155B includes knob sweep capability similar to curve tracer operation. The HP 4155B displays measurement and analysis results on a color LCD and can superimpose stored graphics from four graphic memories for comparison. The HP 4155B includes automatic analysis functions for parameter extraction. The HP 4155B has a built-in HP Instrument BASIC controller and trigger I/O functions for synchronization with external instruments.[3]

The HP 4155B includes zero offset cancel for low current measurements. The HP 4155B supports auto, fixed, and limited auto range modes. The HP 4155B includes LAN capability as a standard feature. The HP 4155B includes an MS-DOS compatible disk drive and can access HP 4145B setup and measurement files from a LIF formatted disk.[2]
