Unlike conventional picoammeters and electrometers, the B2980B series possesses a 4.3" color LCD-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides multiple options for viewing data. In addition to numeric format, data can also be viewed as a graph, as a histogram and as a trend chart. These unique front-panel capabilities facilitate the capture of transient behavior and provide the ability to make quick statistical analyses without the need for a PC. The B2980B series also has features to help you maintain measurement integrity on the external cabling and fixturing. The available Setup Integrity Checker software permits the comparison of noise levels for different cabling and fixturing arrangements, allowing you to identify and isolate the noise-sensitive areas in your measurement system. In addition to these impressive measurement capabilities, the B2980B series has easy-to-use and convenient measurement assist functions that permit users with limited or no electrical engineering training to perform complicated electrical characterization operations with ease.
To provide flexibility and enable you to purchase an instrument with the exact amount of testing capability for your needs, the Keysight B2980B series offers four product versions.
0.01 fA (10-17 A) minimum measurement resolution and 2 pA to 20 mA current measurement ranges with 6.5 digits resolution
< 20 µV burden voltage in its lowest current range
High speed reading rate up to 20,000 rdg/s
Battery operation models for line noise free measurements
