The 487 dual-channel picoammeter module is used as the data acquisition interface in DC systems employing current generating detectors.
Offering short-circuit detector operation and an impressive six decades of gain, wide dynamic range measurements with excellent linearity can be realised.
Including an auxiliary voltage input, the 487 can be operated from the front panel or fully automated over the USB interface. Over-load and under-load flags are included to enhance optimal remote operation.
