A Greater Measure of Confidence

6514

Programmable Electrometer

The Model 6514 Electrometer combines flexible

interfacing capabilities with current sensitivity,

charge measure ment capabilities, resolution, and

speed that are equal or superior to our earlier

electrometers . The Model 6514’s built-in IEEE-488,

RS-232, and digital I/O interfaces make it simple to

configure fully automated, high speed systems for

low-level testing .
The 5½-digit Model 6514 is designed for applica-

tions that demand fast, yet precise measurements of

low currents, voltages from high resistance sources,

charges, or high resistances .
The Model 6514’s exceptional measurement perfor-

mance comes at an affordable price . While its cost is

comparable with that of many high end DMMs, the

Model 6514 offers far greater current sensitivity and

sig nificantly lower voltage burden (as low as 20µV)

than other instruments can provide .

r&D on a budget
The Model 6514 offers the flexibility and sensitivity needed for a wide array of experiments, provid-

ing better data far faster than older electrometer designs . Applications include measuring currents

from light detectors and other sensors, beam experiments, and measuring resistances using a current

source . In addition to use by researchers in areas such as physics, optics, and materials science, the

Model 6514’s affordable price makes it an attractive alternative to high end DMMs for low current

measurement applications, such as testing resistance and leakage current in switches, relays, and

other components . For more information on how the Model 6514 does this, refer to the section titled

“Low Voltage Burden .”
The Model 6514 builds on the features and capabilities of the Keithley electrometers that preceded

it . For example, like those instruments, a built-in constant current source simplifies measuring

resistance .
Two analog outputs—a 2V output and a preamp output—are available for recording data with strip-

chart recorders .
