Step 1. Select a B2980B Series model
First, you’ll need to decide on either a picoammeter or an electrometer based on your required measurement parameters and either a battery model or not based on your requirement for realizing low noise measurement. This will then determine which B2980B model is best for you. Please note that the B2980B Series are not upgradable later on.
