SRS Stanford Research Systems SR860 Lock-In Amplifier 1 mHz to 500 kHz
Description of SRS Stanford Research Systems SR860 Lock-In Amplifier 1 mHz to 500 kHz
The new SR860 Lock-in Amplifier is the latest in a line of innovative lock-ins from SRS. With unparalleled analog performance, sophisticated new digital signal processing features, a thoroughly modern, intuitive user interface, and a wide range of computer connectivity options, the SR860 is the ideal choice for any synchronous detection application.
Key Features of SRS Stanford Research Systems SR860 Lock-In Amplifier
SRS SR860 Signal Inputs
Lock-in performance starts at the front end. The SR860 front end offers both state-of-the art voltage and current input amplifiers. The voltage input is a switchable single-ended/ differential JFET-pair amplifier with 2.5 nV/√Hz of noise at 1 kHz and under 10 nV/√Hz of noise at 10 Hz. The voltage input has a 10 MΩ input impedance and can be AC or DC coupled. Input connector shields can be connected to the instrument ground through a user selectable 10Ω (Ground) or 10 kΩ (Float) resistor.
The SR860’s built-in current amplifier represents a significant improvement over previous designs. The current input range is selectable from 1μA or 10 nA. The 1μA range has 400 kHz of bandwidth and 130 fA/√Hz of noise, while the 10 nA range offers 2 kHz of bandwidth and 13 fA/√Hz of noise.
While the built in voltage and current amplifiers are suitable for most applications, the SR860 is also compatible with the complete range of specialized pre-amplifiers offered by SRS. The SR550 (FET input), SR552 (BJT input), SR554 (transformer input), SR555 (120 kHz current amp), and SR556 (low-noise current amp) can all be powered directly from the SR860’s rear-panel preamp power port. The SRS website shows you how each of these preamps can be used to optimize measurements in a wide variety of experimental situations.
SRS SR860 Computer Connectivity
The SR860 comes standard with virtually every remote interface imaginable. GPIB (IEEE488.2) and RS-232 are of course provided, as well as USB (Test and Measurement Class) and Ethernet (VXI-11 and telnet). The SR860 hosts its own webserver allowing the instrument to be monitored and controlled remotely with just a browser. A front-panel USB port allows data and screen-shots to a USB flash drive. Data can be saved either as comma delimited files or MATLAB compatible .MAT files. Incorporating screen shots and data into reports or spreadsheets has never been easier.
