Convenient two instruments in
one box
Looking for a one-box source-and-mea-
sure device to meet your measurement
needs? The Keysight Technologies
U3606B Multimeter | DC Power supply is
a full-featured 5.5 digit digital multimeter
(DMM) that comes with a built-in 30-W
power supply offering a compact footprint
enabling you to get work done faster and
easier. Being capable of powering up the
DUT while measures Voltage and Current
simultaneously, it enables users to perform
two test functions within the same unit.
The U3606B is carefully thought out for
your convenience and ease when operat-
ing. The convenient two instruments in a
box concept is space and cost efficient, as
less space is needed to accommodate one
device instead of two. Also the U3606B
is lightweight enabling easy portability —
lighter than both DMM and power supply
combined, making it ideal for various
industry such as education, commercial
electronics, semiconductors, sensors and
research and development.
Sweep function (Ramp
and scan)
Ramp and scan functions are mainly
used to simplify device characterization
for multilevel DC bias testing such as DC
motor testing, transistor gain test, relay
control and margin tests. Users have the
choice to either manually perform quick
verification testing through front panel or
control operations remotely using simpli-
fied programming codes. Both functions
are conveniently configurable via front
panel to sweep up to 100 steps for scan
and 10,000 steps for ramp, programmable
up to 105% full scale.
Added Safety Features –
With OVP, OCP and Physical
lock security
Safety features in test instruments are
always an added advantage. It does not
only protect users from exposure to cur-
rent, but also the additional costs incurred
to their investment (DUT). Our U3606B
is integrated with an array of security
features such as over-voltage (OVP) and
over-current (OCP) protection to mitigate
these risks. Additionally, security feature
such as Kensington lock slot strategically
located at the rear of the unit secures
your instrument from the risk of theft or
misplacement when left unattended.
Square wave output
Square wave output is a unique function
for many applications such as pulse-with
modulation (PWM) output, adjustable
voltage control, and synchronous clock.
Users are able to check and calibrate
flow-meter displays, tachometers, LED,
sensors, oscilloscopes, frequency con-
verters, frequency transmitters and other
frequency input devices. The U3606B’s
square wave output provides selectable
frequencies up to 4.8 kHz with variable
duty cycles and amplitudes.
More flexibility, more accuracy
Multiple connectivity options such as GPIB
port and USB 2.0 provides more flexibility
and robust connection between PC and
U3606B Multimeter | DC Power supply.
Users are able to connect the device di-
rectly to the PC host and work seamlessly
with the Keysight Connectivity software
or controlled remotely via standard SCPI
commands. With two instruments in a
single test box, less cable is required for
troubleshooting providing better mainte-
nance and wire management — essential
for rack mount usage. U3606B also comes
with 4-wire milliohm resistance measure-
ment providing more accurate readings
for device characterization as compared
to the conventional 2-wire resistance
measurement.
