Product overview
This section summarizes the features of the Model 6482 Dual-Channel Picoammeter.
The Model 6482 combines two stable DC bias voltage sources with two low-noise picoammeters
for dual-channel measurements. The instrument has 0.1 percent basic measurement accuracy
with up to 6½-digit resolution. At 5½-digit resolution, the Model 6482 can transfer up to 475
readings per second over the GPIB connection, and up to 900 readings per second with 4½-digit
resolution.
