PXIe Source Measure Units for Precision Semiconductor Characterization

The XMU Single/Dual Channel Series is a family of high-precision PXIe source measure units built for advanced semiconductor, optoelectronic, and power electronics testing. The series combines four-quadrant source and measure capability, high-speed sampling, ultra-low current sensitivity, and multiple model options for voltage, current, pulse, and channel-count requirements.

Depending on the model, each module integrates up to six functions: voltage source, current source, voltmeter, ammeter, pulse source, and electronic load - making the series suitable for both precision low-leakage measurements and dynamic high-power device characterization.
