Source measurement unit software simulates classic curve tracer functions

December 3, 2019 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

tek curve tracer software

Keithley I-V Tracer software brings many of the features loved in classic curve tracers to Keithley SourceMeter Source Measure Units (SMU). Because an SMU can source voltage or current while measuring voltage and current, it has similar hardware qualities to a curve tracer. The new software leverages the touchscreen interface of 2400 Series Graphical SMUs […]

SMU modules handle tests involving low current, high capacitance

October 31, 2019 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

Tektronix 4200A Voltage Sweep

Two new source measure unit (SMU) modules for the Keithley 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer can perform low-current measurements even in the presence of high load capacitance due to long cables and complex test setups. Among the notable test applications facing this challenge are LCD display manufacturing and nano FET device testing on a chuck. The new […]

How to avoid errors in low-voltage measurements

June 17, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Keithley-digital-multimeter

Edited by Miles Budimir Subtle difficulties can plague tests involving low voltages. Here are the biggest culprits and surefire ways to avoid them. Signal levels in state-of-the-art electronics have become diminishingly small. For example, ultra-low-voltage digital designs in CMOS now operate with minimum supply voltages in the 200-mV range. This trend has put a new […]

The Evolution of User Interfaces

December 3, 2013 By Test and Measurement Editor Leave a Comment

Keithley-Model-2450-SMU-icon-menu-structure

by Jonathan Tucker, Senior Marketing and Product Manager, Keithley Instruments, Inc., Solon, Oh. Changing user expectations are shaping test instrument graphical user interface (GUI) design. User expectations for new instrument interfaces are changing. For instrumentation vendors, successfully designing new instruments means understanding that although users still need accurate measurements, they rarely have unlimited time to […]
