RE: Equipment with EPICS support

["Krempasky Juraj" <juraj.krempasky@psi.ch>]

 Hello Tom, 

As a Keithley alternative I would recommend
http://ilo.elettra.trieste.it/uploads/2009_10_21_08_13_28.pdf. Actually
for the experiments where low currents from photodiodes are needed 
http://ilo.elettra.trieste.it/uploads/AH401-401B.pdf is probably a
better option because of charge intergration features that even a
Keithley DMM cannot do. Another iteresting fact is that there a 4
synchronous readouts, Keithley does have just one. Finally, the EPICS
intergration is straightforward with the stream driver because of their
TCP/IP control. Finally, AH401(501) deliver real-time data stream upon
request whereas Keithey can just buffer data. For this we plan to
develop waveform asyn support. 

Best regards

Subject: Equipment with EPICS support

Hi all,

Does anyone have any recommendations for the following equipment:
* An electrometer - like
http://www.keithley.co.uk/products/locurrhiresist/?mn=6517BE
* A function generator - like
http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/product.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&nid=-53690
2257.536883183

Ideally we're looking for something with an RS232 or ethernet
connection, and if it already has EPICS support that's an added bonus.

Thanks,
Tom Cobb,
