Keithley 2601 Keithley SourceMeter, 3A DC, 40W, 1 Ch.

Overview and Features

The Keithley 2601 SourceMeter lets you make precision DC, pulse, and low frequency AC source-measure tests faster, easier, and more economically than before. The Keithley 2601 offers two to four times the test speed of competitive products for I-V functional testing by combining:

● Keithley’s high speed, third-generation Source-Measure Unit (SMU) design

● An embedded Test Script Processor (TSP™)

● TSP-Link™, a fast triggering and inter-unit communication bus

The Keithley 2601 has a single 40W, 3A channel and is electrically isolated to ensure high measurement integrity and wiring flexibility. The Keithley 2601 packs many instruments into a small package, including:

● Aprecision power supply

● A true current source

● A 51/2-digit multimeter

● A voltage or current pulse generator with measurement

● A low frequency arbitrary waveform generator

● An electronic load

● A trigger controller

 

Features and Specifications of the Keithley 2601 include:

● TSP-Link allows connection of multiple 2600 series instruments in a master/slave config allowing unlimited scalability

● On-board Test Script Processor processes and runs complex sequences from the instrument - gives you up to 10X greater throughput

o allows creation of custom measurement functions for components such as varistors, diodes and BJTs/FETs, or algorithm based tests like I-V sweeps with power compliance, linearity and latch-up test sequences, and thermal response tests.

● Store up to 50,000 lines of TSP code and more than 200,000 readings in 16MB of nonvolatile memory.

● Measure I and V at >10,000 readings/s. Execute a full source-measure cycle in just 200µs
