- Page 2 The Keysight B2900A Series Precision Source/Measure Unit (SMU) is a compact and cost-effective bench-top SMU with the capability to output and measure both voltage and current. The B2900A Series SMU enables you to make a wide range of current versus voltage (IV) measurements more accurately and quickly than ever before. In...
- Page 3 03 | Keysight | Using Source/Measure Unit as an Ammeter – Demo Guide Concept Figure 1 illustrates the connection diagram used in the demo to use the Keysight B2900A Series SMU as an ammeter. Since the current polarity of the SMU is opposite to an ammeter, the Low Force terminal of the channel has to be connected to the current output port of the device under test (DUT).
- Page 4 Demonstration Objective In the default setting, the low terminal of the channels in the Keysight B2900A Series SMU is grounded internally. However, the low terminal can be disconnected from the ground and kept floating. Configur- This demo illustrates the current mea-...
