The Yokogawa GS610 is a two-channel programmable Source Measure Unit designed for high-precision electrical characterization and testing. It combines voltage and current sourcing with simultaneous measurement capability, enabling four-quadrant operation up to 110 V and 3.2 A with maximum output power of 60 W. The instrument operates in multiple modes including voltage/current generation with corresponding measurements, and functions as both source and sink. With 5.5-digit resolution and ±0.02% basic accuracy on DC voltage generation, the GS610 supports arbitrary waveform generation, curve tracing of semiconductor devices, and synchronized multi-unit operation for complex device characterization.
