Benefit |
Eight module slots |
Flexibility now and expandability in the future |
SMUs that measure several times faster than 4142B SMUs |
Faster test times and improved throughput, resulting in a lower cost-of-test |
Code compatible with the 4142B |
Replace current 4142Bs with the E5260A and enjoy a large throughput improvement with only minimal test code modification |
16 digital I/O lines for instrument triggering in addition to BNC trigger-in & trigger-out connectors |
Sophisticated triggering schemes involving multiple instruments can easily be created |
All trigger signals are processed via hardware rather than firmware |
Fastest possible trigger response from the instrument |
Front panel control |
Can conveniently perform and report spot measurements via a simple front-panel interface, without programming. View other items of interest, such as error messages, valuable when debugging the instrument performance under automated control. |
When 4 HPSMUs are installed then each HPSMU can output 1 A |
No power restrictions; no need to think about mainframe power restrictions when developing applications |
4.0 Amp Ground unit (GNDU) |
Sink the current output of 4 HPSMUs without worrying about resistive ground rise issues |
