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 5 1/2-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
- 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
