487 Dual-Channel Picoammeter Module

  • 487 modular dual-channel picoammeter unit

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.
