Intuitive Front-Panel GUI and Wide 4.3” Color LCD Maximize Test and
Debug Efficiency
Many power supplies and sources only possess a numerical
display or a very basic dot matrix display, which are only effective
at showing DC values. In contrast, the Keysight B2961A/B2962A
has an easy-to-use front panel GUI and a wide 4.3” color LCD.
These make it easy to set up sourcing parameters and to display
complex current and voltage waveforms. For added convenience,
the Keysight B2961A/B2962A provides multiple viewing modes:
single view, dual view (B2962A only) and graph view. These
capabilities not only increase test and evaluation efficiency, but
they also make the instrument easy to use without the need to
struggle through paper manuals. See Figure 7.
Integrated voltage and current monitoring
capability verifies output with 4.5 digit resolution
The Keysight B2961A/B2962A has a built-in voltage and current
monitoring feature that enables you to verify the actual voltage
and current output. You can view the sourced voltage and current
values with 4.5 digit numeric resolution in both single and dual
viewing modes. With minimum voltage and current measurement
resolution of 10 μV and 1 pA (respectively), a digital multi-meter
(DMM) is not necessary for measurement verification.
Time domain waveform viewer facilitates quick
check and debug of output waveforms
In addition to the numeric monitoring, the Keysight B2961A/
B2962A Power Source has a time domain waveform viewing
capability (Figure 9). For most power supplies and sources, you
cannot view the actual waveform you are applying to your device
or sample without using some other sort of external instrument.
The Keysight B2961A/B2962A’s time domain monitoring capa-
bility displays applied waveforms on its LCD display (Graph View
mode), enabling you to verify that you are applying the correct
signal to your DUT.
