TSP #48 - Keithley 2460 Source Measure Unit (SMU) Review, Teardown and Experiments
In this episode Shahriar reviews the new Keithley 2460 Source Measure Unit (SMU). The Keithley 2460 shares all the touchscreen GUI advancements of the 2450 SMU and offers up to 100W of power in full four-quadrant operation. The combination of the 2450 and 2460 SMUs from Keithley offer a wide range of applications.
After a brief teardown of the instrument, several experiments are devised to demonstrate the TSP scripting as well as KickStart software capabilities. The experiments include LED failure modes, Geiger counter setup, Op-amp based voltage regulator characterization, temperature controller, non-linear transconductance emulation and data collection application.

I really love these sessions, my compliments!
Goodness, I have no idea what you were doing but it was fascinating...makes want to buy a couple of those units ! Personally I seem to take away much more from the repair videos but watch them all...thanks for all your hard work and it's obvious the enjoyment you get from your chosen field.
Great overview of some powerful kit.
You sir are awesome. Please continue what you are doing.
By far my favorite youTuber. Love all your videos mate! I really wish I had a job which required one of these so I could justify buying one. But thanks for putting these videos up so I can see what they can do. With your last video on the 2450's you could use an actuator to control the height of the coils(or anything) to get mechanical control over them as well, using one of the smu's to output a 4-20mA or 1-5v signal to a position controller. This would allow you to characterize many DUT's which need physical movement as well, fully automated. Very impressed with the power the scripting offers in these units.
Great experiments. Thanks!
Very interesting video, thank you for this
would love to see a lab tour :)
thx for your reviews
Another great video thanks for sharing. -- Bill --
I use this everyday 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I bought the 2450 because of your previous review and also enjoyed this video a lot and learned something new. One question: Can you make your script files available for download, so that we can learn the scripting language from you, based on your experiments. Thank you !

Hello. On one of the forums you promised to do on your youtube channel review multimeter SIGLENT SDM3055. For a long time and are looking forward to this review.
Very good thank you.
Shariar, are you planning on doing some videos on vector network analysis in the future? Thanks for all the great content by the way...
thanks for this , in labs where finance is an issue it would be good to know how well you can characterise components with just one 2460 , can you script and interact with other equipment and still perform a reasonable IV plot for a fet or a bjt with just one piece of equipment ? also even thought its a pulse type piece of equipment , can you pulse at such frequencies to charaterise small transformer behaviours?
Just wanted to point out that with a White LED, the safe operating voltage/current is not 2.6V... typically more like 3V. You want it to run around 20mA for full brightness.
The company should have a sale and bring the price down to around the $300-$500 range.
Quite a bit of test kit, functionality is quite neat. Is it the amalgamation of a PSU and Meter? Good Video Good Video
At 49:00 why is there a local Measured Regulation Error peak when the Set Regulator Voltage is around 6.5V and the Set Regulator Current is 4A?
Please do a video showcasing the usage and benefits of a battery-powered oscilloscope! Examples where using a ground-referenced scope might introduce errors, noise, or distortion, pure differential measurement, isolated measurements etc. That would be awesome!
Shahriar did you buy that Gas mantle from Grand Bazaar, Tehran 28 years ago in war period just in case for this video base on your description at 21:40? because we have the same one in our wall and still working. but we did't know this was radioactive and we were threatened all the time. wow no wonder we can't make as many children as our grandfathers made!!! by the way the video is great like always. just keep coming.
Great video. How do you attach the thermocouple to the heatsink. It seems you have used some white paste?

Great video! I just wish I could afford a pair of these for my home lab. Yeah right. Maybe I can pick one up used on eBay in 15 years...

Hello Shahriar, Sorry that i comment this fine, interesting video 6 years after its release. But i'm interesting for the LUA Programming code behind the voltage regulator experiment at 37' 37'' Have you a special reserved place for code on your Signal Path website? regards Armin
58:47 I think it looks like it's trying to plot a linear trend when it thinks the relationship is linear.

Hi, my procedure says to set the SMU to provide a load current of 250ma to a battery set. I did this and it charged the batteries instead of draining them. I am supposed to be draining the batteries according to the procedure. Is there a way to constantly drain 250ma from the batteries?

set -250mA current, to sink current instead of sourcing it

So if you have one of these you need no lab power supply anymore. Yay, saved the money on one instrument ;) Maybe a useless information, but if you use "export -> image" in Eagle instead of print screen you won't have the component crosshairs on the image (around 38:00).
Hello sir this is very good info to know about your channel, from the past few days I was searching for a video on net accurately, I bought this on Ali express and also I bought this from bang good .com I have 2 of this now and I do not know how to use OR where to use this, I thought I better to check for your channel if you could show or make a video of the project of this project (GPS Module TTL MT3339) how to use and where to use also can it be used in RC PLANE OR QUAD'S, Please let us know about this And what are the parts need for rc confug Thank you
Keithley 2450 review: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKdtudWNe7KzndI.html Thermoelectric cooling: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling Once again a fascinating glimpse into equipment mere mortals such as I could never afford, along with a superb range of applications. At the risk of sounding churlish, would it be possible to include links to other relevant videos of yours in the notes. Also, a link to uncommon physical phenomena such as the Peltier effect would be the icing on The Signal Path cake. Thanks once again!
As usual, an excellent disertation..... but you did commit mass ledocide, in the name of science..... creepy haha! Please keep your awesome videos coming!

Ah now I just need to locate $16,000 for a pair, you have ruined me sir, I will never feel comfortable doing it the manual way again.
