A Keithley 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer with 4 Source Measure …71221 Amps: What is the Output Resistance for the Current Source of a SourceMeter?
Product(s) : SourceMeter Instruments: 2400, 2410, 2420, 2425, 2430, 2440, 6430 Question : What is the output resistance for the current source for the SourceMeter Instruments? Answer: The specified output impedance of …69601 Ohms: What type solder can I use when I cannot make direct threaded connections to my sample?
In the past, cadmium solder was used because it had a low thermal property. Unfortunately, cadmium solder has been determined to be toxic and its use has been eliminated. Silver type solder is about the only solder that is commercially available …71316 Ohms: Which SourceMeter instrument do you recommend for four-point probe measurement techniques?
All Keithley Series 2400 SourceMeter instruments, as well as the Model 6430 Sub-Femtoamp Remote SourceMeter, are capable of making four-point probe measurements. That is, along with the input/output HI and LOW terminals, there is a corresponding …70186 How do I create an I-V Characterizer test that uses more than one SMU Instrument?
Use the “Instruments” button in the I-V Characterizer app toolbar to access the “Add Channels” button to add more SMU instruments to your test. You can add up to 4 SMU instruments in a single I-V Characterizer app.470091 Amps: When using a SourceMeter to measure only (no sourcing), why is the current negative?
When using the SourceMeter to measure only (no sourcing), why are the polarities of my current measurements negative? The instrument always assumes that it is measuring a current from its internal source. In this case, a POSITIVE current will flow …69591 Ohms: How do I select 4-wire ohms measurement?
Over the front panel, select the following: CONFIG button ohms button SENSE-MODE menu selection 4-WIRE menu selection ENTER button. Via the bus, send the 'SYST:RSEN ON' command. Once you've selected this function successfully, the '4W' annunciator …70926 Ohms: What is the offset-compensated ohms function and why is it necessary?
In this mode, the SourceMeter instrument takes two measurements for each one that is displayed. Measurements are taken at the user-specified source value and at zero. The results of these two measurements are subtracted from each other to cancel out …70896 What is a low cost test fixture to perform stable and accurate current measurements below 1nA?
Taking stable and accurate current measurements below 1nA requires a guard shield (Faraday cage) as per the below excerpt from the 6430 reference manual (Figure 1). It was desired to measure currents below 1pA. A 1T resistor was selected. The voltage …781711
