The Model 2460 High Current SourceMeter
®
Source Measure Unit (SMU)
Instrument brings advanced Touch, Test, Invent® technology right to your
fingertips. It combines an innovative graphical user interface (GUI) with
capacitive touchscreen technology to make testing intuitive and minimize
the learning curve to help engineers and scientists learn faster, work
smarter, and invent easier. With its 7A DC and pulse current capability, the
Model 2460 is optimized for characterizing and testing high power mate-
rials, devices, and modules such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride
(GaN), DC-DC converters, power MOSFETs, solar cells and panels, LEDs
and lighting systems, electrochemical cells and batteries, and much more.
These new capabilities, combined with Keithley’s decades of expertise in
developing high precision, high accuracy SMU instruments, will make the
Model 2460 a “go-to instrument” for high current applications in the lab
and in the rack for years to come.

Learn Faster, Work Smarter, Invent Easier
The Model 2460 features a five-inch, full-color, high resolution touchscreen that supports intuitive
operation, helps operators become familiar with the instrument quickly, and optimizes overall speed
and productivity. A simple icon-based menu structure reduces the number of steps required to con-
figure a test by as much as 50 percent and eliminates the cumbersome multi-layer menu structures
typically used on soft-key instruments. Built-in, context-sensitive help supports intuitive operation
and minimizes the need to review a separate manual. These capabilities, combined with the Model
2460’s high versatility, simplify its operation in both basic and advanced measurement applications,
regardless of the user’s previous experience in working with SMU instruments.

Ease of Use Beyond the Touchscreen
In addition to its advanced touchscreen, the Model 2460’s front panel offers a variety of features that
enhance its speed, user-friendliness, and learnability, including a USB 2.0 memory I/O port, a HELP
key, a rotary navigation/control knob, a front/rear input selector button, and banana jacks for basic
bench applications. The USB 2.0 memory port simplifies storing test results and instrument config-
urations, uploading test scripts into the instrument, and installing system upgrades. All front-panel
buttons are backlit to enhance visibility in low-light environments.

Convert Raw Data to Information
A full graphical plotting window converts raw data and displays it imme-
diately as useful information, such as semiconductor I-V curves and
voltammograms. Using the Model 2460’s Sheet view, test data can also be
displayed in tabular form. The instrument supports exporting data to a
spreadsheet for further analysis, dramatically improving productivity for
research, benchtop testing, device qualification, and debugging.
TriggerFlow
®
Building Blocks for
Instrument Control and Execution
The Model 2460 incorporates Keithley’s TriggerFlow triggering system,
which provides user control over instrument execution. TriggerFlow dia-
grams are created in much the same way that flow charts are developed,
using four fundamental building block types:
• Wait – Waits for an event to occur before the flow continues
• Branch – Branches when a condition has been satisfied
• Action – Initiates an action in the instrument, for example, measure,
source, delay, set digital I/O, etc.
• Notify – Notifies other equipment that an event has occurred
A TriggerFlow model using a combination of these building blocks can be
created from the front panel or by sending remote commands. With the
TriggerFlow system, users can build triggering models from very simple to
complex with up to 255 block levels. The Model 2460 also includes basic
triggering functions, including immediate, timer, and manual triggering.
Built-in data display, charting, and spread-
sheet export functions simplify converting
test results into useful information.
TriggerFlow building blocks allow creating triggering models that
range from very simple to highly complex.

Parallel Test Capability
The TSP technology in the Model 2460 supports testing multiple devices
in parallel to meet the needs of device research, advanced semiconductor
lab applications, and even high throughput production test. This parallel
testing capability allows each instrument in the system to run its own com-
plete test sequence, creating a fully multi-threaded test environment. The
number of tests that can be run in parallel on a Model 2460 can be as high
as the number of instruments in the system.
Free Instrument Control Start-up Software
The Model 2460 comes with KickStart instrument control/start-up soft-
ware, which lets users start taking measurements in minutes without
programming. In most cases, users merely need to make some quick meas-
urements, graph the data, and store the data to disk for later analysis in
software environments such as Excel. KickStart offers:
• Instrument configuration control to perform I-V characterization
• Native X-Y graphing, panning, and zooming
• Spreadsheet/tabular viewing of data
• Saving and exporting data for further analysis
• Saving of test setups
• Screenshot capturing of graph
• Annotation of tests
• Command line dialog for sending and receiving data
• HTML help
• GPIB, USB 2.0, Ethernet compliance

Unmatched System Integration and
Programming Flexibility
When a Model 2460 is configured into a multi-channel I-V test system, its
embedded Test Script Processor (TSP®) allows it to run test scripts, so
users can create powerful measurement applications with significantly
reduced development times. TSP technology also offers channel expansion
without a mainframe. Keithley’s TSP-Link® channel expansion bus, which
uses a 100 Base T Ethernet cable, can connect multiple Model 2460s and
other TSP instruments such as Keithley’s Model 2450 SourceMeter SMU
Instruments, Series 2600B System SourceMeter SMU instruments, and
Series 3700A Switch/Multimeter systems in a master-slave configuration
that operates as one integrated system. The TSP-Link expansion bus
supports up to 32 units per GPIB or IP address, making it easy to scale
a system to fit an application’s particular requirements. The Model 2460
also includes a SCPI programming mode that takes advantage of all of the
instrument’s capabilities.
