digit measurement resolution, as well as various sweep functions and a pulse measurement func-
tion with a minimum pulse width of 50 s.
It can be widely used as a power source for evaluation and characteristic tests in R&D fields of such as semi-
conductors and other electronic compoments.
The 6240B characteristics are described below.
