1-2 Getting Started Model 6485 Picoammeter Instruction Manual
Introduction
The Model 6485 is a high resolution bus-programmable (RS-232 and IEEE-488) picoam-
meter. The Model 6485 has the following current measurement ranges: 8 ranges (from
20mA down to the 2nA range, with the 2nA range having the lowest noise).
