What is source meter?

A sourcemeter is an electronic instrument capable of generating currents and voltages and simultaneously measuring them with high accuracy. A sourcemeter is also called a Source Measure Unit or SMU.

What is an SMU Keithley?

The Source Measure Unit (SMU) is an instrument that can precisely source voltage or current and simultaneously measure voltage and/or current. SMUs are considered more useful than the combination of any of the five instruments, due to the measuring instrument’s versatility and high accuracy performance.

What is Keithley meter?

Keithley 2400 Series SourceMeter® Lines are source measurement unit (SMU) instruments designed specifically for test applications that demand tightly coupled sourcing and measurement. Keithley 2400 Series SourceMeter Lines can act as a voltage source, current source, voltage meter, current meter, and as an ohmmeter.

How does a source measure unit work?

A source measure unit (SMU) is an instrument that combines a sourcing function and a measurement function on the same pin or connector. It can source voltage or current and simultaneously measure voltage and/or current.

What is an SMU used for?

The source measure unit (SMU), or source-measurement unit as it is sometimes called, is an electronic instrument that is capable of both sourcing and measuring at the same time. It can precisely force voltage or current and simultaneously measure precise voltage and/or current.

How does an SMU work?

A SMU integrates a highly stable DC power source, as a constant current source or as a constant voltage source, and a high precision multimeter. Power is simultaneously sourced (positive) or sinked (negative) to a pair of terminals at the same time as measuring the current or voltage across those terminals is done.
