Source/measurement capabilities
Sweep measurement
Number of steps: 1 to 2500
Sweep mode: linear, logarithmic (log) or list
Sweep direction: single or double
Type: DC, or pulse
Min programmable value to create list sweep waveform:
Digitizing/sampling measurement
Digitizing/sampling measurement can be performed by appropriate setting of measure
speed and trigger interval.
Min trigger interval (Max speed of measurement):
Data buffers
Data buffers are array of measurement elements. Each elements hold the following values.
– Measured voltage
– Measured current
– Measured resistance
– Time stamp
– Measurement status
– Source setting
Max buffer size: 100000 points / channel
Program and interface capabilities
Programming language
The Keysight B2900A series supports SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments).
Default command set:
Supports all of the advanced features of Keysight B2900A series.
Conventional command set:
Supports industry standard conventional SCPI command set for basic compatibility
Program memory
Program memory allows you to store long strings of SCPI command lines once into the
B2900A series’ volatile memory and then recall those strings multiple times while the
program is executing using a single SCPI command. By storing the command strings
in memory, the time that would have been spent sending those same commands over
a communication bus is eliminated. For tests that utilize lots of repeated code (such as
subroutines), program memory can dramatically reduce test times.
Max number of characters of program name:
32, with alphabets, numbers, hyphens and underscores.
Max memory size: 100 kB (2500 lines typical)
