MeasureReady™ M81 Synchronous Source Measure System Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This guide provides basic information for getting started
with your MeasureReady™ M81 synchronous source
measure system (SSM™).
For further documentation and
information, see our website.
Items included with the MeasureReady™ M81-SSM:
Lake Shore M81-SSM
Line power cord
USB-Type A to USB-Type C™ adapter
USB-Type A to USB-Type B cable
Remote source and measure modules
(sold separately)
Unpacking
Inspect all items for both visible and hidden damage
that occurred during shipment. If there is visible damage
to the contents, contact the shipping company and Lake
Shore immediately.
NOTE:
Procedures vary with shipping companies. Keep
all damaged shipping materials and contents until
instructed to either return or discard them.
Features
Unique real-time sampling architecture for synchronous
sourcing and measuring
MeasureSync™ technology for simultaneous
source module excitation and measure module
timing across all channels
User-selectable measurements of AC, DC, and
lock-in functions on all measure channels
Common DAC/ADC sampling clock ensures
highly precise and consistent source/measure
timing coordination between 3 sources and 3
measures
Designed for scientific-grade low-level measurement
applications
Linear power supply architecture for lowest
possible source/measure noise
Fully analog signal paths between data
converters, modules, and the device under test
(DUT)
Remote modules for the shortest possible
signal path to the DUT, which separates
sensitive analog circuits from digital circuits
and unwanted sources of interference typical of
traditional single-enclosure instrument designs
