The Keysight U2723A is a 3-channel USB-based Source/Measure Unit (SMU) for automated testing, component characterization, and precision data acquisition. It combines power supply, digital multimeter, and data logging functionality in a compact module sized like a typical novel. The instrument operates in four quadrants across ±20 V and ±120 mA per channel, with channels configurable in series or parallel to achieve up to 60 V / 360 mA. Connected via high-speed USB 2.0 (USBTMC-USB488 compliant), it functions standalone or integrates into modular chassis systems for synchronized multi-unit measurements.
