Inputs |
Virtual null or user-set bias (±5 V) |
Input offset |
±1 pA to ±1 mA adjustable DC offset current |
Maximum input |
±5 mA |
Noise |
See graphs |
Sensitivity |
1 pA/V to 1 mA/V in 1-2-5 sequence (vernier adj. in 0.5 % steps) |
Frequency response |
±0.5 dB to 1 MHz. Adjustable front-panel frequency response compensation for source capacitance. |
Grounding |
Amplifier ground is fully floating. Amplifier and chassis ground are available at rear panel. Input ground can float up to ±40 V. |
Filters |
Signal filters |
2 configurable (low-pass or high-pass) 6 dB/oct rolloff filters. -3 dB points are settable in a 1-3-10 sequence from 0.03 Hz to 1 MHz. |
Gain allocation |
Low noise |
Gain is allocated to the front end for best noise performance. |
High bandwidth |
Front-end gain is reduced for optimum frequency response. |
Low drift |
Low bias current amplifier is used for reduced drift at high sensitivity. |
Filter reset |
Long time constant filters may be reset with front-panel button. |
Output |
Gain accuracy |
±(0.5 % of output + 10 mV) @ 25°C |
DC drift |

Maximum output |
±5 V into a high impedance load |
