Semiconductor Curve Tracer
Support for a maximum peak voltage of 3,000V
and a maximum peak current of 1,000A
Display
Fast activation
The 8.4-inch clear screen
displays the waveform details.
This large screen displays the
menu and parameters without
limiting the waveform grid.
Menu operation section
Use the function knob and function
keys to operate the menu.
COPY button
Step generator
The step setting
and offset can be
manipulated using this
dedicated knob.
Connectivity
The CS-3000 series features a
USB port on the front panel to
facilitate report creation. Screen
images can be saved to a USB
device by pressing the COPY
button.
CONFIGURATION
button
Readout
The readout display, which is
color-coded by function, displays
operation settings in an easy-to
understand way.
This shows the
connection and signal
application status on the
display.
Breaker
Breakers for high voltage and
high current (CS-3200/3300) are
provided on the front panel.
VIEW/PULSE button
VARIABLE knob
This is used to switch between the TRACE and WAVE views.
In the WAVE view, the screen displays the time axis waveform
of the applied voltage and current, which conventional curve
tracers could not be used to observe.
This is used to adjust
the output voltage of
the collector supply.
A durable knob is
employed due to
frequent use.
VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL knobs
These dedicated knobs are located in an easily accessible position.

CS-501 TO-type test adapter
The CS-500 Test adapter is supplied with the
product. Use this adapter to connect the prepared
jig to the fixture.
This socket is suited to the
TO-type package (with three
terminals). The supported lead
distance is from 1.52 to 4.57mm.

The SWEEP TYPE can be selected with DOWN,
UP, and CUSTOM (all models).
With CUSTOM specified, the range between
specified values can be swept.
CS-800 semiconductor parameter search (optional)
The main unit software option that supports the voltage and current limit function, as well as the automatic Vth
measurements.
LIMIT SWEEP
Vth and hFE SETUP
If the voltage and current limit values are specified
before SWEEP operations, the operations stop at
the next measurement point after the limit value has
been exceeded.
Vth and hFE can be automatically measured.
Example of automatic Vth measurement
Remote tool
CS-810 semiconductor parameter measurement (optional)
If the use of a USB memory is not permitted
for security reasons, a copy of the screen,
measurement results in the CSV format, and other
data can be directly transferred to the PC via a
LAN.
A PC application used to connect the main unit incorporating CS-800 and an (optional) PC via a LAN. This
application automatically performs measurements by applying the measurement conditions specified using the
PC to determine whether the data is appropriate or not.
*The Remote
tool can be
downloaded from
the Iwatsu website
