Keithley Series Source Meter, Current Voltage Source, Measure Current Resistance Voltage, ±200 mV to ±200 V, ±1 μA to 2400

Keithley 2400 Series Source Meter 2400 combines the functionality of a precision voltage and current source with a high-accuracy measurement instrument suitable for demanding test and measurement applications.

This single-channel source meter unit operates over source voltage ranges from ±200 mV to ±200 V and source current ranges from ±1 μA to ±1 A with an output power of 20W. It integrates a low noise and stable DC power source with an instrument-grade 6.5-digit digital multimeter, providing high accuracy and repeatability in measurements.

This instrument supports 2-, 4-, and 6-wire remote sensing techniques to eliminate errors due to lead resistance, crucial for resistance and voltage measurements in semiconductor and precision component testing.

The 2400 supports four-quadrant source and sink operation, enabling sourcing and sinking of current and voltage for comprehensive device characterization and testing capabilities.

Connectivity includes Standard SCPI commands via GPIB, RS-232, and Keithley Trigger Link interfaces, ensuring easy integration into automated test setups. High-speed measurement rates of up to 1700 readings per second at 4.5 digits facilitate efficient data acquisition.

Additional features include a pass/fail comparator for fast sorting and binning of components as well as a programmable digital I/O port for automation control.

Compact and lightweight design with dimensions of 89 mm height, 213 mm width, and 370 mm depth, and a weight of 3.21 kg, makes it suitable for laboratory benches and production environments.

Contents include the 2400 SourceMeter® unit, Model 8605 test leads, downloadable documentation, KickStart start-up software, and LabVIEW and IVI drivers.
