1. Overview
The Ossila Source Measure Unit (SMU) incorporates two voltage sources for measuring current and two
voltage meters for measuring voltage. With it, you can measure a wide range of research devices including
photovoltaics, LEDs and OLEDs, transistors, and more.
The ability to control instruments is a key skill for experimental scientists and engineers. We have designed
the SMU so that no matter what your skill level is, you can access aordable, precise instrumentation.
1.1 Features
• Dual Source Measure (SMU) channels
• Dual Voltmeter channels
• ±10 V source
• Up to ±200 mA source/sink current per channel
• Five software controlled current ranges (10 nA – 200 mA)
• Shutter control or trigger input
• Serial and I2C extension
• PC software front panel
• USB & Network control
• Simple text-based interface
