Measurement Functions
Integration Time
Medium
Medium integration time is 1 PLC (power line cycle).
Setting Press Medium front-panel key.
Integration time depends on the power line cycle. cannot change this value.
(for example, 20 ms for 50 Hz)
If you measure current in the 1 nA or lower ranges by using SMUs, integration time
of SMUs is automatically changed as follows:
Long
Long integration time is effective when you need high resolution and noise
reduction measurement. But the measurement speed is slow.
Setting Press Long front-panel key.
Integration time 2 PLC to 100 PLC with 1 PLC resolution
Initial setting 16 PLC
When an 4155B/4156B measures current in 1 nA or lower ranges by using HRSMU,
integration time of HRSMU is automatically changed to longer integration time
(maximum 100 PLC) than specified.
Measurement Unit Measurement Range Integration Time
HRSMU 10 pA 50 PLC
100 pA 10 PLC
1 nA 5 PLC
MPSMU 1 nA 3 PLC
HPSMU 1 nA 3 PLC
