- 1uA to 10uA
- Includes PC interface software
- Interfaces with Jandel four point probing units
About the Jandel Cylindrical Probe
The Jandel Cylindrical probe is built to a high level of mechanical accuracy as are all Jandel four point probe heads. Specifications for radii, spacing, planarity, and spring load are verified by calibrated instruments including a video inspection system, an optical interferometer, and an electronic force gauge. Each probe tip is guided by upper and lower jeweled needle guides. Additional information about probe quality can be found in the Jandel probe head application notes.

ResTest Four Point Probe Measurement Unit
The ResTest is a combined constant current source and digital voltmeter, which has been designed specifically for use with a four point probe to produce resistivity and sheet resistance measurements. The unit supplies a constant current and can display resultant voltage sheet resistance and volume resistivity.
The ResTest has a large color display and it can read-out in either sheet resistance in the range from 10 milliohms-per-square up to 106 (1 million) ohms-per-square. The range is not as great as the RM3000, however, it is faster and has a larger color display.
