and highly accurate measurement capabilities Today, there’s no reason to buy separate instruments for sourcing and measurement. Every instrument in Keithley’s Series 2400 SourceMeter family gives you both capabilities in one compact unit. Each one combines a programmable power source with a highly repeatable, a current source, a voltage meter, a current meter, and an ohmmeter. There’s a SourceMeter of them to a variety of component handlers for fast binning and sorting. Plus, SourceMeter instruments are fully compatible with Keithley’s popular switching mainframes and cards for automating...

Testing air bag inflators A SourceMeter instrument is ideal for testing circuit protection devices, which can provide fast, energy absorbing, transient and over-voltage protection to a load placed across them. Use a SourceMeter instrument to test the electrical characteristics of the air bag assembly. The precision of a SourceMeter instrument and its readback feature make it ideal for this application, because testing the inflator is much like testing a fuse; if too high a current is used, the fuse will open and must be scrapped. Types of circuit protection devices: • • • • • TVS (transient...

Faster, easier, and more efficient testing Six-Wire Ohms Measurements Coupled Source and Measure Capabilities F A S T E R , E A S I E R , The tightly coupled nature of a SourceMeter instrument provides many advantages over separate instruments. The ability to fit a source and a meter in a single half-rack enclosure saves valuable rack space and simplifies the remote programming interface. Also, the tight control and single GPIB address inherent in a single instrument results in faster test times for ATE applications due to reduced GPIB traffic. The SourceMeter instrument topology (shown...

Selecting the best solution for your All SourceMeter instruments provide four-quadrant operation. In the first and third quadrants, they operate as a source, delivering power to a load. In the second and fourth quadrants, they operate as a sink, dissipating power internally. Voltage, current, and resistance can be measured during source or sink operation.
