Free PC-based software and multiple interface options

provide flexible remote control choices

Keysight provides two PC-based software control options for the B2980A series:

B2900A Quick I/V Measurement Software and a B2900A Graphical Web Interface.

Quick I/V software can communicate with the B2980A series via several popular interfaces:

LAN, GPIB (up to four B2980A series units) and USB (one B2980A series unit). It provides

almost the same functionalities of your B2980A series’ front panel. In addition, it supports

a function that can automatically export measurement data into Microsoft Excel on your

PC for further analysis. The Web Interface is embedded in each instrument and is only

accessible via the LAN interface using a PC.

The Quick I/V Measurement Software also supports other B2900A precision instrument

products (B2900A series of Source / Measure Units and B2960A series of Low Noise

Power Sources).

What are the B2980A

series’ temperature and

humidity measurement

capabilities?

Temperature and humidity are

critical parameters for high

resistance measurements. The

B2985A and B2987A electrometers

contain both temperature and

humidity sensor interfaces, and a

dedicated thermocouple (N1423A)

is furnished with these models. The

EE07 Digital Humidity/Temperature

Probe from E+E Electronik can be

used for humidity and temperature

sensing, which provides more

accurate temperature data than

a thermocouple

Keysight B2900A family

The B2980A series is a member of B2900 Precision Instrument Family, which provide a variety of precision measurement solutions with

both sourcing and measurement capabilities. The B2900A series of Source Measure Units (SMUs) have 6.5-digit resolution, enabling

100 nV/10 fA sourcing and measurement. The B2960A series of Low Noise Power Sources have up to 6.5-digit voltage/current sourcing

resolution and a 10 μVrms noise floor. Both the B2900A series SMUs and B2960A series Power Sources have an output range of

± 210 V and ± 3 A (DC) or ± 10.5 A (pulsed), and they both utilize the same color LCD-based GUI. Further information on the B2900

Precision Instrument Family is available at
