EA008 High Resistance

& pA Measurement Adapter

• Accurate Measurements down to pAmp levels.

• Ideal for High resistance measurements to 1Tohm

• Five measurement ranges

• Supplied with Virtual Front Panel Software for PC.

The EA008 adapter for the 3041 & 3010 eliminates the need for a separate electrometer
instrument. The low cost EA008 provides 5 current measurement ranges down to 10nA
with a resolution of 1pA. The EA008 provides a ‘ virtual ground’ input impedance avoiding
errors due to high input impedance often found on DMM’s with low current ranges.

By using the accurate high voltage output from the 3000 series calibrator together with the
EA008 current measurement capability & the VFP software high value resistance
measurements to be made with test voltages up to 1000V.

The virtual front panel program supplied as standard with the adapter provides a familiar
user interface with features such as null, filter and auto range.
