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...

. Then, when you press , the instrument will make a time domain measurement with staircase source. Because the B2900A series SMU has an independent trigger system for each of the source and measurement function, the multiple measurements can be made during each step of staircase source. If it is necessary, you can specify any measurement trigger delay time which is the wait time before making a measurement.

SMU with the capability to output and measure both voltage and current. Configuring the B2900A series SMU properly enables you not only to make a simple current versus voltage (IV) measurement, but also to make a time domain measurement with sourcing staircase sweep current or voltage as if it were an oscilloscope.
