Keithley 236 Source Measure Unit
The Keithley 236 Source Measure Unit is an advanced, fully programmable instrument specifically designed for precision sourcing and measuring of voltage and current simultaneously. This versatile device effectively operates as four distinct instruments in one convenient package: a voltage source, current source, voltage measurement unit, and current measurement unit. Its comprehensive capabilities make it an indispensable tool for researchers and engineers alike.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Source Voltage: Ranges from 100 µV to 110 V
- Source Current: Ranges from 100 fA to 100 mA
- Measurement Voltage: Ranges from 10 µV to 110 V
- Measurement Current: Ranges from 10 fA to 100 mA
- Load Capacitance: Stable into 20,000 pF typical
- Connectors: Outputs with 3-lug triaxial; Trigger Input/Output via BNC(f)
- Interface: IEEE-488 compatible for seamless integration
Advanced Waveform Generation:
The Keithley 236 simplifies the creation of custom sweeps for voltage or current through its three waveform operations: CREATE, APPEND, and MODIFY. Users can effortlessly select parameters, combine multiple waveforms, and modify specific points in an existing waveform, enabling highly flexible and tailored test setups.
