Source Measure units - multiple instruments in one

An SMU combines the functionality of a power source with positive and negative constant voltage or constant current capabilities, an electronic load, a precision ammeter and a precision voltmeter. This is tied together with a high speed sweep / pulse generator and data collection engine with graphing capabilities. Because it is purpose built for rapid characterization, it is far more than the sum of its parts. Special care has been taken over stability and protection, settling times, and the speed and accuracy of its measurements. Low noise techniques have been used to facilitate the measurement of very small currents or voltages. The touchscreen menu system prioritizes ease of use, making presets available for common usage scenarios. Two SMU4000 series can be joined together with the SMU-LINK (optional accessory) which enables them to be synchronized, effectively creating a 2 channel SMU that fits in a 2U rack space (rack kit optional).
