NOTES The Models 2400, 2410, 2420, 2425, 2430, and 2440 are Y2K compliant.
Models with a “-C” suffix have the Contact Check option. See Appendix F.
Some additional capabilities of the SourceMeter include:
• Concurrent measurements of all three functions over the remote interface.
• Source-measure sweep capabilities (linear and logarithmic staircase sweeps,
source sweep list of up to 2500 points, memory sweep of up to 100 instrument set-
ups).
• 6-wire Ω measurement with programmable I-source or V-source with V or I clamp.
• 4-quadrant source and sink operation.
• Up to 12 stages of limit testing with a built-in comparator for pass/fail testing.
• Digital I/O for stand-alone binning operations or interface to component handler.
• Programming language and remote interfaces — The SourceMeter uses the SCPI
programming language and two remote interface ports (IEEE-488/GPIB and
RS-232C).
•Trigger-Link interface to Keithley Series 7000 switching hardware.
