Keysight Technologies, Inc. introduced the B2980A Series of femto/picoammeters and electrometers, the first graphical picoammeters and electrometers to confidently measure down to 0.01 fA which is 0.01 x 10-15 A, and up to 10 petaohms (PΩ) which is 10 x 1015 ohms. In recent years, research and development into new materials, such as nanomaterial, graphene, […]
New DC supplies target battery-powered electronics
A new series of low-noise, programmable power supplies have the speed and dynamic range necessary for measuring loads and load-current pulses that commonly arise in battery-powered wireless, medical, and industrial devices. Typical applications for the Series 2280S supplies from Keithley Instruments Inc. include testing of RFID tags, intrinsically safe devices, and low-power semiconductors. The Series […]
H-P, Agilent, Keysight: New name, same reputation
Those of us who have been around electronic instrumentation for a while can remember the days when Hewlett-Packard instruments were considered the cream of the crop. Where I worked, we always tried to get to the lab early on the days we had tests to run so we could get our hands on the highly […]
