Keithley 2601B Single Channel System SourceMeter SMU Electronic Measuring Instrument

Description

The Keithley 2601B is a highly integrated, single-channel System SourceMeter (SMU) designed for precision electronic measurement and high-throughput production testing. Engineered by Keithley Instruments, this unit combines a precision power supply, true current source, 6.5-digit multimeter, arbitrary waveform generator, and pulse generator into a single tightly synchronized instrument.

System Architecture and Integration:
The 2601B leverages proprietary Test Script Processor (TSP) technology, embedding complete test programs directly into the instrument’s non-volatile memory to eliminate PC bus communication delays. For scalable multi-channel applications, the TSP-Link interface enables seamless Technical Compatibility with other 2600B series instruments, creating a master/slave network that operates as a unified, high-speed system without mainframe constraints.
