cacle is a Teflon-insulated UHF connector. A shield
cap is provided. The ground posr, below ehe Recep-
tacle, is conneceed co chassis ground.

c. Use hixh resisronce. low-loss marerials - such
as ‘Teflon , recommended,, polpe~hylene or oolpsqrene
- for insulation. Insuinci”” leakage resiseance of
test fixtures and Leads shouid be several orders of

CURRENT MEASUREMENTS.
a. The Model 6008 can measure currents three ways.
1. In the normal method - used on any range -
the current is determined by measuring the voltage
drop across a resistor shunring che’amplifier in-
put. This method is useful when lower noise is more
important than faster response speeds or if some
damping is needed.
2. In the fasr method - far “se anly below the
10-Z ampere range - the shunt resistor is between.
the amplifier ““ep”t and input in the feedback loop.
This circuit largely neutralizes the effect af inpue capaciey and greatly increases the response
speed. Also, the inpue voltage drop is reduced to
less than One millivolt on any range.
3. For galvanometric current measurements, the
Model 6006 acts as B null indicator between a very
cccurate current source and the “nknawn current
SO”CCe.
b. Rise time varies primarily with the current
range, the input capacity and the method used. With
ehe FEEDBACK Switch in ehe FAST oosition. the rise
time on ehe ?ast sensitive range is less than 2.5
seconds and on the lo-6 ampere range is less than 3
milliseconds. Given a choice. it is beteer ta place
the Electrometer near to the current source than to
the data reading instrument. Transmitting the input
signal through long caaxial cables slightly decreases
the respanse speed and significantly increases noise
due to the cable capacitance.

The Xodel 6000 can meas”re resistance by tw
merhads.
1. In the constant current methad, the Electrometer measures the voltage drop across the unknown
sample as a knno;.r.,
_^__._...
_“...,-..... i..Zi’i;lCi L:u”,r &‘“ugiL
it.
The voltage drop is proportional to the resis-
tance Of the snmple.
In this method the Model 6008
can be used in one af ~0 different modes: normal
or fast.
a) The normal wj:r is trcommended for “se from
1 kilohm to 1011 ohms.
b) Above lOi
ohms the fast method is preferred. It results in faster respanse speed and
also nullifies leakage across the Electrometer
input, since the pacential acr‘oss the input ter-
minal is small.
2.
In the preceding merhod, the voltage across
the sample cannot be arbritrarily see. I” some
cases. as in measuring capacieor leakage, this results in excessively long testing time.
In the
voltmeter-anrmerer method the Moiri COGa is “sad as
a picoammeter. The unknown resistance sample is
connected to an external known voltaee 80”rce and
ehe current through the sample is measured.
Either the normal or fast method may be used. The resistance is calculated from the readings.
NOTE
Discharge any capacitor completely befare
removing it from the circuit.
Depressing
the ZERO CHECK Sutton shorts the input
through a IO-megohm resistor, providing a

“OLTHETER OPERATI(IN.
a. The Model 6008 empioys matched insulated-gare,
field-effect transistors fallowed by a eransisror differential amplifier with a high-voltage comvlementary
oueput stage. Figure 9 shows the block diagram for
the voltmeter made of operation.
b. Voltmeter operation of the Model 6008 is as
fallows:
1.
The amplifier is always in a unity-gain, input
voltage co output current converter contigurarxm.
The internal circuitry is arranged such that a full
scale input voltage (ei) results in exactly a 1 milliampere outout curreoc through the divider string
composed
of
Rm. R177, end the meter. Voltage gain
of the circuit is determined by the ratio of R177 to
h.
Output is taken across R177.
2. The voleage drop across the amplifier is
where & is the amplifier loop gain, greater t!lan
5 I 10’ on all ranges.
c. ‘ihe complementary oufpot sK.ege, 4109 and 4110,
drives the amplifier ground at the same potential as
ehe input signal. ‘Thus the input impedance is maintained for any value input voltage and the need for
input dividers is eliminated. ‘The amplifier *round
is not chassis ground, hue it is connected directly
to the unity gain output.
NOTE
Refer to Schematic Diagram 22BOSE for circuit designations.
3-3. “OLTELETER CIRCUIT.
a. The amplifier input staSe is a pair of insulated
gate,
field-effect transiecars, Qlll and Qll5, in a
differential configuration.
The gate of Qlll is re-
turned to amplifier common, the unity gain output.
b. Depressing the ZERO CHECK Sutton, S102, places
the gate of the active insulated gate devices at zero
p”LSLLLldl.
c. The input stage is fallowed by a transistor differential amplifier. composed of QlOlA-QlOS. Q106 and
Q107 make up the output gain stage, which is utilized
in e gain multiplier configureciao. This stage provides the remainder of the high gain required by the

3-4. AMMETER OPERATION.
a. Normal Method. In the normal method of c”==enC
measurements (FEEDBACK Switch in NORMAL position),
one of the Range Switch resistors, R136 through R146,
shunts the input.
(See Figure 10). The Model 6008
then meas”=es the voltage drop acrbss the resistor.
The meter is calibraird io ‘ea..i i&e ~“arni in ampexs
for the appropriate range.
b. Fast Method.
In the fast method of c”==ent mea-
S”=aments (FEEDBACK Switch in FAST position), the MO-
de1 6008 functions 88 an attnwEe= with negative feedback. The differenelal amplifier output is divided
by the Multiplter Switch resistors, R168 to R174, and
fed back to the am<lifier inp”t through a feedback
resistor seleceed with the Range Switch.
(See Figure
10).
~loaring ground is connected to the law imped-
ance side of the input, and the output ground is
flOaCi”g.
~hls method increases the response speed
by minimizing the effects of inp”t capacity; it also
reduces the input drop to less than 1 millivolt.

The source is obtained f=om the batteries
through the resisrar divider nerwork, R128 through
R130.
E varies depending upon ehe OHMS range used.
The voltage source is connected beeween floating

range resistor. !+ is one of the resistors, R136
through R146. I is equal to E/R., =egardless of the
value of R,, as long as the voltage drop across Rx
does not exceed the Multiplier switch setting. This
circuit provides a t=“e source regardless of the in-
put.

Applications:
Reststivity can be determined by measuring the current
through a sample with a known voltage impressed. The
measurement can be made most canveniently when a set
of electrodes ore used which can be
