Applications

This manual provides application examples that show you how to perform tests from the front panel
and over a remote interface. These applications are presented after the summary information about
the 2450. The applications include:
•
Making basic front-panel measurements
functionality using a single 2450 and a two-terminal device under test (DUT).
•
Measuring low-resistance devices
low-resistance measurements of a 20 mΩ resistor.
•
Leakage current and insulation resistance
use the 2450 to measure the leakage current of a capacitor and the insulation resistance between
the two conductors of a coaxial cable.
•
Measuring I-V characteristics of FETs
2450 instruments to perform a drain family of curves (Vds-Id) on a three-terminal MOSFET. One
example uses the 2450 trigger model; the other uses linear sweep commands to make the
measurements.
•
Rechargeable battery measurements
perform automated battery discharge and charge cycle testing.
•
Measuring I-V characteristics of solar cells
characterize a solar cell using the 2450.
