1.1 Product Line up of the B2900A Series
The Agilent B2900A Series of Precision Source/Measure Unit provides wider voltage and
current coverage, higher resolution, and graphical user interface for more quicker test,
debug and characterization on the bench top.
The B2900A series consists of four models, the B2901A, B2902A, B2911A and B2912A,
differentiated through their measurement specifications and by the number of SMU
channels (one or two) they support. This makes it easy to select the exact
price/performance point to meet your testing needs.
