Keithley 2430
Source Meter
Description
This Digital SourceMeter is designed specifically for test applications that demand tightly coupled sourcing and measurement.
All SourceMeter models provide precision voltage and current sourcing as well as measurement capabilities.
Each SourceMeter instrument is both a highly stable DC power source and a true instrument grade 5 1/2 digit multimeter.
The power source characteristics include low noise, precision, and readback.
The multimeter capabilities include high repeatability and low noise.
The result is a compact, single channel, DC parametric tester.
In operation, these instruments can act as a voltage source, a current source, a voltage meter, a current meter, and an ohmmeter.
Manufacturers of components and modules for the communications, semiconductor, computer, automotive, and medical industries will find the SourceMeter instruments invaluable for a wide range of characterization and production test applications.
