Section 1: Introduction

Capabilities and features

The Model 2450 has the following features:
•
High-resolution, five-inch touch-screen display with enhanced graphical data visualization and
on-screen debug and error histories
•
Reduced source noise in band (<10 Hz) and wideband (<1 MHz)
•
Ability to perform sensitive measurements on low-level signals
•
Higher V-sense levels, easier 4-wire configuration, and better four-point probing performance
than earlier models
•
Expanded voltage, current, and resistance measurement ranges
•
Simplified trigger model with source and memory configuration lists
•
Front-panel USB-A connector for flash-drive support; rear-panel USB-B connector for
communication, control, and data transfer
•
Five front-panel banana jacks, front-panel safety earth ground, and four rear-panel triaxial
connectors
•
Backward compatibility with Model 2400 SCPI programs using Model 2400 emulation mode
Some additional capabilities of the Model 2450:
•
Source-measure sweep capabilities (linear and logarithmic staircase sweeps)
•
Four-quadrant source and sink operation
•
Limit testing with a built-in comparator for pass/fail testing
•
Digital I/O for stand-alone binning operations or interface to a component handler
•
SCPI and Test Script Processor (TSP
(IEEE-488/GPIB, USB, and LAN)
•
Built-in math expressions and user-defined expressions (using a remote interface)
•
Up to one-million-point reading buffer with seven setups (five user defaults, factory default, *RST
default) that can be stored and recalled
•
Resistance and power measurement functions
•
High-capacitance mode for load impedance up to 50 µF (microfarads)
•
Filtering to reduce reading noise
•
Overcurrent and overvoltage protection
•
Safety interlock through rear-panel connector
•
Trigger model supports extensive triggering and synchronization schemes at hardware speeds
