S4g#

Description#

The S4g is a 4 channel DC current source. Each channel is controlled by the same 18-bit DACs (Digital to Analog Converters).

An S4g current module.

On the front of each S4g module you find:

  • 4 x SMA: DC current source with software-selectable range: ±50 mA, ±25 mA, +50 mA, 18-bit resolution, 40 Ω output impedance.

  • 4 x MCX: Voltage monitor for each channel.

  • 4 x LED: To indicate that the current source is clipping to its compliance voltage.
