The document provides an overview of the Keithley Instruments SourceMeter 2600A series and Electrometer 6517B/E. The 2600A series is an upgraded platform from the 2600 series with additional digital features that enable fully parallel and synchronized operation of multiple channels. This allows for advanced triggering and pulsing capabilities. The Electrometer 6517B/E is a high precision instrument that can measure voltage, current, charge, and resistance, and includes features such as built-in voltage sourcing and data storage. Optional cards and accessories allow it to perform additional tests and measurements on multiple samples.

Summary
Key Feature-Benefit Differences (2600 vs. 2600A)
Platform upgrade of 2600 family for advanced digital features
• Full parallel and synchronized operation of multiple channels in
DC, Sweep, or Pulse mode
– Advanced TSP synchronization, TSP triggering, Hardware controlled
sweeps, Deterministic pulsing
• Flexible trigger model with hardware level synchronization
• Minimum pulse width of 100µs and jitter less than 2µs (low as
500ns)
• Synchronized buffer timestamps
• Lower source noise for 2601/2A and 2611/12A models
• Extended range pulsing across all models (10Amp)
• Ability to handle DUT loads of up to 50uF in HIGH-C Mode

Electrometer 6517B - Hi-Resistance measurement
12

13. The Model 6517B is a 6½-digit electrometer/high-resistance test and measurement system with
the following measurement capabilities:
• DC voltage measurements from 1μV to 210V.
• DC current measurements from 10aA to 21mA.
• Charge measurements from 10fC to 2.1μC.
• Resistance measurements from 10Ω to 210PΩ.
• Surface resistivity measurements.
• Volume resistivity measurements.
• External temperature measurements from -25°C to 150°C using the supplied Model
6517-TP thermocouple.
• Relative humidity measurements (0 to 100%) using the optional Model 6517-RH probe.
Some additional capabilities of the Model 6517B include:
• Built-in V-Source. The 100V range provides up to ±100V at 10mA, while the 1000V range
provides up to ±1000V at 1mA.
• Data storage (50,000 points).
• Single button zeroing (REL).
• Built-in math functions.
• Filtering, averaging, and median.
• Built-in test sequences.
• Remote operation using the IEEE-488 (GPIB) bus or the RS-232 interface.
• Scan (measure) channels of an external scanner.
• Scan (measure) channels of an internal scanner card (for example, Keithley Instruments
Model 6521 or Model 6522) installed in the option slot.
