Voltage/Current Generation and Measurement Range

Four-dimensional operation with source operation (current source) and sink operation (current sink) is possible at up to 110 V, 3.2 A, and 60 W.

The output and measurement resolutions are 5.5 digits.

Voltage generation/measurement range: 200 mV to 110 V
Current generation/measurement range: 20 μA to 3.2 A

Maximum output current:
±3.2 A & (at an output voltage of ±12 V or less)
±2 A (at an output voltage of ±30 V or less)
±1 A (at an output voltage of ±60 V or less)
±0.5 A (at an output voltage of ±110 V or less)


Operation modes:

• Voltage generation/current measurement (VS/IM)
• Voltage generation/voltage measurement (VS/VM)
• Current generation/voltage measurement (IS/VM)
• Current generation/current measurement (IS/IM)
• Voltage generation (VS)
• Current generation (IS)
• Resistance measurement (VS/IM or IS/VM)

Additionally, control and measurement using a two-wire system or a four-wire system are possible by switching local sensing and remote sensing internally.

Various Operation Modes

The voltage/current generation block of the GS610 operates in DC generation mode or pulse generation mode. Four operation modes-continuous output, linear sweep, log sweep, and program sweep-are available for each generation mode. In program sweep mode, the user can define an arbitrary sweep pattern. The output level can be changed at a minimum of 100 μs intervals in each sweep mode.

Easy File Operation with the USB Storage Function

When the GS610 Source Measure Unit is connected to a PC via the USB, the PC detects the GS610 internal memory as a USB storage device. A pattern file can easily be stored in the GS610 internal memory by creating the GS610 generation pattern on a general-purpose worksheet application (1) and dragging and dropping the pattern file (2). The GS610 sweeps the voltage or current levels according to the generation pattern that is written in this file, measures the load current or load voltage at the appropriate points (3), and stores the results to the GS610 internal memory (4). There is absolutely no cumbersome programming or installation of dedicated software programs required (5) and (6).

User-Defined Computation Function

User-defined computation can be performed on the GS610 by combining dedicated operators. It can be used to carry out linear conversion of measured values, compute the power, compute the next generated value from the current measured value, and perform real-time computation of generated data using expressions. The expression is created using a text editor on your PC and stored to the GS610 internal memory via the USB.

Ethernet Interface (/C10 Option)

Remote control and file transfer can be carried out over the network by installing the Ethernet Interface (/C10 option). Web Server The GS610 connected via the Ethernet interface can be controlled from Internet Explorer. Remote control Displays a front panel image of the GS610 on the browser with which the GS610 can be remotely controlled. File transfer The GS610 internal memory can be handled as a PC file server. The output pattern can be transferred to the GS610 internal memory, or the measurement result data can be loaded in the PC.

Command control function The GS610 can be controlled using commands similar to GP-IB or RS232 commands. Up to five clients can connect to the GS610.
