Keithley 6517B/E Bench Digital Multimeter, 20mA ac Max, 20mA dc Max, 200V ac Max

The Keithley 6517B Electrometer is a high resistance 5-digitmultimeter that is the worldwide research laboratory standard for sensitive measurements. 6517B provides reliable measurements of current levels down to 10aA, charge levels down to 1 fC including the highest resistance measurements available. The multimeter is capable of measuring the largest voltage range to 200 V with an input impedance exceeding 200 TΩ. Its low noise and drift performance make it ideal for research on single electron devices, highly resistive nanowires and nanotubes, polymers, and electrochemical applications.

The optional high resistivity application (HRMA) for KickStart is designed for use with Keithley’s 6517B Electrometer/High Resistance Meter. The 6517B along with the 8009 Resistivity Test Fixture is a laboratory standard for volume and surface resistivity measurements on insulating materials. Together, they can be used to measure resistance up to 1018 Ω at up to 1000 V.
The KickStart high resistance measurement option makes it easier for you to:
• Quickly and reliably determine resistivity of material
using tests that conform to ASTM D257 standard.
• Perform a Step Response test to identify electrification
time appropriate to the material’s time constant.
• Observe resistivity dependence on temperature and
relative humidity of environment using optional probes
6517-TP and 6517-RH.
• Use the alternating polarity measurement technique to
eliminate inherent background currents for the most
accurate resistivity measurements
