System electrometer features
Model 6514 is a 6½-digit high-performance system electrometer. It can measure voltage, cur-
rent, resistance and charge. Details on its measurement capabilities are explained in Section 2 of
this manual (see “Measurement Overview”).
Features of Model 6514 System Electrometer include:
• Setup storage — Five instrument setups (three user, GPIB defaults and factory defaults)
can be saved and recalled.
• mX+b and percent — These calculations provide mathematical manipulation of
readings.
• Relative — Null offsets or establish baseline values.
• Buffer — Store up to 2500 readings in the internal buffer.
• Limits — Set up to two stages of high and low reading limits to test devices.
• Digital I/O port — Four output lines and one input line to control external circuitry. Use
as an interface between limit tests and component handler.
• Analog outputs — Provides a 2V analog output for a full range input. Preamp out pro-
vides a driven guard for Volts, or can be used for external feedback measurements.
• External feedback — Extends the measurement capabilities of the electrometer; loga-
rithmic currents, non-decade current ranges and non-standard charge ranges.
• Remote interface — Model 6514 can be controlled using the IEEE-488 interface
(GPIB) or the RS-232 interface.
• GPIB programming language — When using the GPIB, the instrument can be pro-
grammed using the SCPI or DDC programming language.
