October 12, 2011. Keithley Instruments Inc. has published a CD titled, “Configuring Cost-Effective, High Performance Sourcing and Measurement Solutions.” The CD offers a variety of application notes and tutorial information on using source-measurement units (SMUs) in applications such as high power, high-brightness LED (HBLED) test, solar-cell characterization, and high resistance measurements. SMUs combine the capabilities of a number of instruments, including DC voltage and current sources and a digital multimeter (DMM). These instruments are equally suitable for stand-alone bench-top use and as building blocks in highly scalable system solutions, combining wide I-V dynamic range with tightly synchronized operation. A selector guide simplifies identifying the most appropriate SMUs for a particular application. The CD provides a detailed overview of the features of each of Keithley’s SMU families, including links to data sheets, application notes, application briefs, and online demos.
