ELECTRONIC DEVICE FAILURE ANALYSIS | VOLUME 18 NO. 2 9500 atomic force microscope (AFM). The Keysight 9500
AFM system seamlessly integrates new software, a new
high-bandwidth digital controller, and a state-of-the-art
mechanical design to provide unrivaled scan rates of up
to 2 s/frame (256× 256 pixels). Engineeredwith scientific
and industrial research and development users in mind,
the 9500 is the ideal system for an expansive range of
advanced AFM applications associated with materials
science, life science, polymer science, and electrical
characterization.
The ultrafast scan rates of the 9500 AFMaremade pos-
sible by Keysight’s new Quick Scan technology. Available
as a system option, Quick Scan is controlled through
NanoNavigator, a powerful new imaging and analysis
software package fromKeysight. In addition to supporting
Quick Scan functionality, NanoNavigator software allows
researchers to save time by using a newautodrive feature
that automatically and optimally sets all parameters for
the 9500.
Novices and experts alike can appreciate Nano­
Navigator’s efficient workflow-based graphical user
interface as it guides users step-by-step through system
setup and operation via intuitive, eye-catching visuals.
For ultimate convenience, the NanoNavigatormobile app
for smart phones and tablets allows remote monitoring
of AFM experiments while they are being performed by
the 9500.
The Keysight 9500 system offers a large (90 µm)
closed-loop AFM scanner with atomic resolution,
industry-leading environmental control, ultrahigh-pre-
cision temperature control, and much more. The 9500
delivers superior imaging in fluids, gases, and ambient
conditions. Researchers also can use the 9500 to perform
single-pass nanoscale electrical characterization. A new
high-bandwidth, field-programmable gate-array-based
digital controller ensures high-speed operating precision
and eliminates the requirement for additional external
control boxes.
The compact mechanical design of the 9500 affords
researchers quick and convenient access to their samples.
More than a half-dozen of the most commonly used AFM
imagingmodes (including Keysight’s patentedMACMode)
are supported by the system’s standard nose cone, which
can easily be interchanged with specialized nose cones
as needed, extending the 9500’s capabilities effortlessly.
Keysight also offers a scanning tunneling microscope
scanner for studies of conducting materials and an
inverted light microscope system for simultaneous AFM/
optical imaging.

Keysight’s U1280 and U1240C Series handheld DMMs
need to meet the toughest requirements for electronics
manufacturing, installation, andmaintenancework in the
electronics test industry.
The U1240C Series 4-digit handheld DMMs come with
10,000-count display resolution and 0.09% accuracy and
provide a broad range of measurement functions for
installation and maintenance work in industrial facili-
ties. The U1240C Series also comes with unique features
such asZLOWand harmonic ratio. ZLOWprovides low imped-
ancemode to eliminate stray voltages. The harmonic ratio
function gives an indication of the presence of harmonics.
“With extended battery life and IP 67 certification, the
U1280 Series and U1240C Series are designed to be reli-
able, durable, and robust,” said EeHuei Sin, Vice President
of Keysight’s General-Purpose Electronic Measurement
Division. “With these newhandheld DMMs, engineers can
confidently perform tests and troubleshoot over a longer
period of time, even in tough electronics or industrial
settings.”
The U1280 Series and U1240C Series are very robust
and are suited for operation in the field. These handheld
DMMs are certified to IP67 for complete protection against
dust and immersion in water up to 1 m and are capable
of withstanding up to a 3 m (10 ft) drop. Additionally, the
U1240C Series is CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V compliant
to improve user safety in electrical testing and measure-
ment. Both series of handheld DMMs comewith extended
battery life—800 h for the U1280 Series and 400 h for the
U1240C Series—so users can continue testing for longer
periods of time. This is especially important for industrial
test engineers whose ultimate goal is to keep the pro-
duction line running seamlessly to prevent unplanned
shutdowns.
