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 input. 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 in-
pue 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.

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 stored charge is propor-
tional to the voltage across the capacitor, which is
measured by the Model 6008 voltmeter circuits.
