I400 - 4 Channel Biased Input Charge Integrating Electrometer

Subtotal$7,305.00

Description

The I400 is intended for the measurement of small charges or corresponding currents (from pA to µA) generated by devices such as ionization chambers, in-vacuum beam position monitors, proportional chambers, and photodiodes. Four input channels make the I400 particularly well-suited to four-quadrant electrode systems used for beam centering. The unit may be stand-alone or networked with other devices and integrated into a larger system.

See the I404 for an electrometer with unbiased inputs suitable for detectors at ground potential.

  • Low noise, < 100fA RMS +1fA RMS per pF input load
  • Stable output drift < 5ppm/C/Hour
  • Integrated digitization and communications
  • Integrated calibration test source
  • Multimode external triggering capability
  • Diagnostic host software with position algorithms and multiple display options

Applications

  • Ionization chamber readout
  • Secondary-electron beam position monitors
  • White beam blade BPMs
  • Photodiodes and photodiode beam position monitors
  • Diamond detector readout
  • General very-low current and charge measurement

Integrated High Voltage

  • Avoids the need for a separate external HV supply.
  • Precise programmable voltage control.
  • Choice of polarity, positive or negative, and range up to 3000V depending on the product.
  • Shared ground with measurement electronics to eliminate ground loops.
  • Short circuit protection and redundant output voltage monitoring.

Fiber Optics

Pyramid transmits measurement data over fiber-optic cable instead of copper, keeping signals immune to electrical interference. Our radiation-hard fibers have minimal light attenuation, enabling fast, reliable messaging across enormous distances.

IG2 EPICS Support

Integrate device data collection and configuration into an EPICS system, without writing a single line of code using IG2.

  • Runs on Windows and Debian Linux
  • Change PV names with simple XML configuration
  • Connect to multiple Pyramid devices at once
  • Add custom scale factors and offsets on a PV basis
  • Never have to recompile
  • Professional Pyramid support for bugs and features
