This manual describes the accessories, operating environment, precautions, and operating check for person-
nel who operate the 6241A/6242. Read this manual before using the 6241A/6242.
1.1 Product Overview
The 6241A/6242 is a DC Voltage Current Source/Monitor with wide source/measurment ranges, as shown
below.
6241A: Voltage 0 to ±32 V, Current 0 to ±500 mA
6242: Voltage 0 to ±6 V, Current 0 to ±5 A
The instruments offer high sensitivity with 4

digit measurement resolution,
as well as various sweep functions and a pulse measurement function with a minimum pulse width of 50 μs.
They can be widely used as a power source for evaluation and characteristic tests in R&D fields such as semi-
conductors or electrical components.
