FAQS FAQ ID Why do I measure an offset current from an unbiased photomultiplier tube (PMT)?
Why do I measure an offset current from an unbiased photomultiplier tube (PMT)? All of Keithley's newer picoammeters and electrometers use a feedback ammeter configuration. For this type of ammeter to work properly, the source resistance of the …71776 What is the Input Resistance of the 6487 when Zero Check is enabled?
Product(s) : Picoammeter: 6487 Question : What is the Input Resistance of the 6487 when Zero Check is enabled? Answer: A model 6517A was used to apply a 1 volt excitation to the 6487. The following values of resistance were …71476 What is the voltage burden specification of an electrometer or picoammeter?
An ideal ammeter will have zero internal resistance, however, a real ammeter will have a finite resistance. This resistance creates a voltage drop called the voltage burden. For feedback ammeters, the voltage burden is usually 1 mV or less at full …72031 Speed: What would be a good instrument to use to measure di/dt?
It depends on the timeframe. If the time intervals are on the order of tenths of seconds or longer, picoammeters, electrometers, or SourceMeter instruments can be used. If the time intervals are very fast, use a fast current amplifier, such as the …71171 How to configure and make resistivity measurements using Model 6487 picoammeter and Model 8009 resistivity test chamber?
Model 6487 is a picoammeter with a voltage source. It acts like the 6517B for the resistivity measurement but does not calculate the resistivity, only resistance. So it will source the voltage and measure the current, then calculate the resistance …470656 Why do I get a 'CLOSE INTLCK' error when trying to turn ON the source of my 6487?
The answer is in a downloadable file. Please click the link below.71491 Why does my picoammeter (or electrometer) give a non-zero reading when I short the input?
Why does my picoammeter (or electrometer in the current mode) give a non-zero reading when I short the input? When measuring current, the input circuit is an op amp in a current-to-voltage converter configuration, also known as a transimpedance …71771 How will the voltage burden affect my current measurements?
The answer is in a downloadable file. Please click the link below.70096 How can Zero Check be enabled/disabled using IVI drivers with LabVIEW (LV) for 6485
The answer is in a downloadable file. Please click the link below.72061 How small of a current can an electrometer or a picoammeter measure?
Electrometers and picoammeters, with very low input offset current and minimal input voltage drop, can measure currents as low as 1fA (10e-15A).71381 How do I measure the offset current of my picoammeter or electrometer?
The offset current of a picoammeter or electrometer is the current measured with no circuit connected to the input. To measure the offset current, turn the power on and allow the instrument to warm up for the time specified in the manual. Place a …71736 How do I calculate the input resistance of a feedback picoammeter?
The input resistance of a feedback picoammeter on a particular range can be determined from the following equation: Input Resistance < Voltage Burden Specification / Full Scale Current on Particular Range In other words, the input resistance on a …71471 Are there any example programs for the IVI driver?
When the IVI driver for your measurement instrument is installed, several example programs are also installed.If LabVIEW is already installed on the target system when the IVI driver is installed, then a subfolder, KE2700 or KE6485, in the National …72161
