* The minimum area resolution under actual test conditions depends upon the internal noise environment of the tester, the external noise environment, and the test jig parasitic capacitance.

** Maximum hysteresis frequencies apply to the internal amplifier purchased. Voltage ratings are not cumulative: a Multiferroic II purchased with the 500V internal amplifier does not also have the 100V and 200V ratings, as each rating is relative to the internal amplifier purchased.

*** Tester specifications are subject to change without notice.

Vision Software is included with every Precision test system.

Radiant’s Precision Line of Test Systems are driven by Vision Software, with a library of over 150 measurement, analysis, plotting, program control, and documentation tasks.

Combine tests in one run

Chain Hysteresis, PUND, Fatigue, and Leakage in one Test Definition instead of running one test at a time.

Control the environment

Set temperature over GPIB, set the field of a Quantum Design superconducting magnet, and query an LCR meter within the test.

Let the logic decide

Branch tasks repeat steps until a value reaches your threshold; If/Then and Exit tasks skip steps or end the run based on a measured value.

Nothing gets lost

Every run is archived with its Test Definition, so any experiment can be recalled or reproduced.

Documentation and support

A brochure for each tester, the company brochure, and Domain Switching as the Tester Sees It, plus the full knowledge base library.
