Voltage and current

Front-End Protection

Internal circuit protection when a charged capacitor is connected to the input terminals.  The maximum capacitor voltage is: Vmax = ±/font> (8/C) typical @ Vmax ± 250 V; Vmax = ± (2/C) typical @ Vmax ± 1000 V, C is in Farads.

Display Digits

3, 4, or 5 (selectable)

Correction Function

Zero OPEN/SHORT

Eliminates measurement errors due to stray parasitic impedances in the test fixtures.

Load

Improves measurement accuracy by using a calibrated device as a reference.

Comparator Function

HIGH/IN/LOW for each primary measurement parameter and secondary measurement parameter.

Contact Check Function

Contact failure between the test fixture and device can be detected.  Additional time for contact check: 5 ms.

Other Functions

Save/Recall

Ten instrument setups can be saved/recalled from the internal nonvolatile memory.

Continuous Memory Capability

If the instrument is turned off, or if a power failure occurs, instrument settings (except dc bias on/off) are automatically memorized (± 72 hours at 23° ± 5° C).

HP-IB Interface

All control settings, measured values, and comparator information.

Handler Interface

All output signals are negative-logic, optically isolated open collectors.  Output signals include HIGH/IN/LOW, no contact, index, end of measurement, and alarm.  Input signals include keylock and external trigger.
