Condition: Used

The Keysight B2912A is offered in excellent used condition with accessories as pictured. This high-performance 2-channel SMU delivers integrated 4-quadrant sourcing and measurement, arbitrary waveform generation from a 10 μs interval, and a 4.3" colour display supporting graphical and numerical view modes — all in a single compact benchtop instrument.

Typically includes:
• Power cable
• USB cable
• Quick Reference guide (English)
• Product Reference CD-ROM (including PDF manuals, Keysight B2900A Quick I/V Measurement Software and drivers)
• Keysight I/O Library Suite
• EasyEXPERT group+ Software

The Keysight B2912A Precision Source/Measure Unit (SMU) is part of the B2900A Series — a range of compact, cost-effective benchtop SMUs designed to source and measure both voltage and current with best-in-class resolution and accuracy. The B2912A is the high-performance, 2-channel variant of the series, combining the functions of a precision voltage source, current source, voltage meter, current meter, pulse generator, and arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) into a single instrument.

The B2900A SMU integrates 4-quadrant source and measurement capabilities, enabling I-V (current versus voltage) measurements across a wide range of applications without requiring multiple instruments or reconfiguration. It supports both 2-wire and 4-wire measurement configurations.

Typical Applications:
- Semiconductor device characterisation (diodes, FETs, BJTs, LEDs, laser diodes, photodetectors)
- Active and passive component testing (resistors, varistors, thermistors, switches)
- Precision electronics and green energy device testing (photovoltaic cells, power transistors, batteries)
- R&D, education, industrial development, production test, and automated manufacturing
- Nano device characterisation

The B2900A Series supports conventional SMU SCPI commands for straightforward migration of existing test code, and the EasyEXPERT group+ software enables parametric characterisation with an intuitive GUI — simplifying test setup, execution, data analysis, and data management.
