Completely characterize components with
comprehensive parametric tests
The 3255B range of inductance analyzers are able to
accurately characterise devices in a clear and simple manner.
The inductance analyzers are available in three versions
3255BL (200kHz), 3255B (500kHz) and 3255BQ (1 MHz).
At the design stage of component development it is very
important to analyse how components performs under
different operating conditions. This includes operation over a
range of frequencies, AC drive levels or DC bias currents.
The AC drive level can be set between 1 mV and 10 V. DC
bias current can be set from 1 mA to 1 A internally (optional).
Using the external 3265B range of DC Bias Units bias
currents can be set to a maximum of 125 A.

Printed output of test results
Using the parallel Centronics interface the user can
directly print all test results for further analysis and
archiving.
In addition, via the optional GPIB interface, the instrument
can be controlled from a PC and results can be read back
for analysis and storage.
LabVIEW™ drivers are available on request or can be
downloaded from the web site, www.waynekerrtest.com,
providing a base from which a user can develop a specific
test application.
