M81 Synchronous Source Measure System
An innovative architecture for coordinating low-level measurements from DC to 100 kHz
The MeasureReady™ M81-SSM (Synchronous Source and Measure) system provides a confident and straightforward approach for advanced measurement applications. The M81 is designed to eliminate the complexity of multiple function-specific instrumentation setups, combining the convenience of DC and AC sourcing with DC and AC measurement, including a lock‑in’s sensitivity and measurement performance.
This extremely low-noise simultaneous source and measure system ensures inherently synchronised measurements from 1 to 3 source channels and from 1 to 3 measure channels per half-rack instrument — while also being highly adaptable for a range of material and device research applications.
Flexible measurement capabilities
The M81-SSM provides DC and AC stimulus and measurement capabilities for characterising materials and devices in cryogenic, room temperature, and high-temperature environments.
M81 FEATURES
- MeasureSync™ technology for simultaneous source module update and measure module sampling timing across all channels
- DC/AC amplitude and phase detection is user-selectable on all measure channels
- Common DAC/ADC sampling clock ensures highly precise and consistent source/measure timing coordination between 3 sources and 3 measures
- 100% linear module power supply architecture for lowest possible source/measure noise
- Fully linear signal path between data converters, modules, and the device under test (DUT)
- Remote modules for the shortest possible signal path to the DUT, which separates sensitive analogue circuits from digital circuits and unwanted sources of interference typical of traditional single-enclosure instrument designs
- All source and measure channels are capable of DC and AC to 100 kHz signals
- Optimised for fundamental, harmonic, and phase AC plus DC biased measurements
- Modularity allows for flexible, user-configured modules to suit a specific application
- Remote-mountable amplifier modules are interchangeable between instruments
- Modules are dynamically recognised when the system is reconfigured
- Uses a clean, simple UI and a common programming API for fast setup and a shorter learning curve
COMPONENTS OF THE M81-SSM
- Connect up to three source modules and up to three measure modules
- Exchange modules and adapt the configuration for each measurement
- All modules are capable of measuring with DC and AC to 100 kHz
- All modules are optimised for high precision and common reference and ground.
