The HP/Agilent 4339A High Resistance Meter is a precision instrument designed for accurate measurement of high resistance values and low currents across a range exceeding 16 decades. It delivers stable, safe measurements essential for materials characterization, semiconductor device analysis, and electronic component testing. The meter supports multiple measurement parameters—DC resistance, DC current, surface resistivity, and volume resistivity—with test voltages up to 1000 Vdc and programmable current compliance settings from 0.5 mA to 10 mA.
