Product Overview
The Keysight Femto / Picoammeters and Electrometers / High Resistance Meters offer best-in-class measurement performance and unprecedented features to maximize your measurement confidence. The Femto / Picoammeters and Electrometers both offer 0.01 fA (0.01 x 10-15 A) minimum current resolution, which meets virtually all existing and future low-level current measurement needs.
The Electrometers feature a 1,000 V voltage sourcing capability that supports up to 10 PΩ (10 x 1015 Ω) resistance measurements. Both of the Femto / Picoammeter and Electrometer have battery powered versions to eliminate AC power line noise, providing unmatched level of noise reduction, enabling low-level measurements that were previously impossible.
The B2981B Femto/Picoammeter is the world’s only graphical picoammeter that allows you to confidently measures small currents with 0.01 fA (0.01 x 10-15 A) resolution. It contains a 4.3” color LCD with a graphical user interface that provides trend chart and histogram data in addition to numeric information.
These front-panel capabilities enable you to capture transient behavior and perform quick statistical analyses without a PC. The available Setup Integrity Checker software option allows you to compare the noise levels of different cabling and fixturing arrangements to help isolate external noise sources.
