The Keysight B2901CL is a compact, single-channel Precision Source/Measure Unit (SMU), designed for precise and cost-effective voltage and current measurements suitable for laboratory and production testing environments. It offers a maximum voltage of ±21 V and a DC current capability up to ±1.5 A. The B2901CL provides excellent measurement precision with a resolution down to 1 pA for current measurements and 1 µV for voltage sourcing, making it highly effective for tasks requiring fine electrical characterization. Its integrated four-quadrant sourcing and measuring capability simplifies IV measurements by eliminating the need for additional instrumentation, ensuring easier setups and accurate results.
The device features an intuitive 4.3-inch color LCD graphical user interface that supports various viewing modes such as single view and graph view, facilitating quick test setups, interactive debugging, and efficient characterization directly from the front panel. For advanced functionality, it includes built-in sweep capabilities, supporting linear, logarithmic, and custom sweeps with up to 10,000 programmable steps, enabling flexible characterization of electronic components under varying test conditions. Additionally, it captures transient phenomena with sampling rates up to 5,000 points per second, aiding analysis of low-frequency transient behaviors.
Connectivity options, including USB, LAN, and GPIB, enable easy integration into automated test systems. Available software tools like PathWave BenchVue and EasyEXPERT group+ allow remote instrument control and data analysis without complex programming, thus improving workflow efficiency. Overall, the B2901CL is optimized for precision, ease-of-use, and reliability, making it an excellent choice for routine and specialized testing tasks.
