A new DC-source benchtop instrument aims to integrate the capabilities of I‑V systems, curve tracers, and semiconductor analyzers as used for characterizing wide bandgap power semiconductors such as SiC and GaN.
2460型号的源计源测量单元（SMU）仪器结合了电容式触摸屏用户界面，并且最多可源源为105-V，7-A DC/7-A脉冲，最大100W。具有0.012％的基本测量精度和6½位分辨率。它可以运行四季度电压和当前的源/负载测量值。除了使用高功率半导体外，该设备还非常适合表征电源转换和管理系统的要素，例如太阳能电池/面板，新材料和电源管理设备。
The instrument also finds use in electrochemistry applications where its high current output supports galvanic cycling of rechargeable batteries; its four-quadrant source and sink design makes it suitable for cyclic voltammetry with electrochemical cells. Its built-in control and display features also make the Model 2460 useful for characterizing electrochemical deposition, corrosion, and electroplating.
为了表征光电设备，例如LED，OLEDS，HBLEDS，固态照明和激光二极管，Model 2460的7-A DC功能提供了足够的电流，可以向前和反向偏置I-V特征运行。它提供的7-A脉冲电流可以最大程度地减少泄漏电流测试期间的自热。
该仪器使用五英寸触摸屏的全彩，据说是为不是全日制测试工程师的用户而设计的。完整的图形绘图窗口将转换原始数据并立即显示为有用的信息，例如半导体I-V曲线和伏安图。触摸屏支持“捏和变焦”操作，以详细检查图中的数据。
Also included is a built-in context-sensitive help function through the touchscreen, minimizing the need to review a manual. Four single-touch Quickset modes simplify measurement setup without the need to configure the instrument indirectly for this operation. For complex analyses, data can be easily stored to disk, then exported to a spreadsheet. Up to four Model 2460s can be configured for multi-pin testing.
The Model 2460 is also engineered for integration into automated test systems via features such as Embedded Test Script Processor (TSP) Technology which embed test programs into non-volatile memory within the instrument itself rather than run it over GPIB/USB/LAN with an external PC controller. Through TSP multiple devices can run in parallel, with each instrument in the system able to run its own complete test sequence, creating a fully multi-threaded test environment.
一个称为TSP-Link Channel扩展总线的功能使测试系统构建器将多个模型2460和其他TSP仪器连接到主奴隶配置中，该配置可作为一个集成系统运行。TSP-LINK扩展总线每GPIB，USB或IP地址最多支持32个单元。
一个称为TriggerFlow的触发系统使用户可以构建触发模型，范围从非常简单到复杂，最多具有255个块级别。模型2460还包括基本的触发功能，包括立即，计时器和手动触发。
后面板质量终端连接器和遥控接口（GPIB，USB 2.0和LXI/以太网），D-SUB 9针数字I/O端口（用于内部/外部/外部触发信号和处理程序控制），仪器互锁控制，和TSP-Link插孔简化了配置多种仪器的任务，并消除了投资其他适配器配件的需求。
2460型为7,500美元；没有前面板的版本，旨在集成到自动化系统中，价格为7,200美元。
