acquisition and measurement applications. To provide users with greater versatility when designing test
systems, the Series 3700A mainframes are equipped with
many standard features. For example, easy connectivity
is supported with three remote interfaces: LXI/Ethernet,
General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB), and Universal Serial
Bus (USB). Fourteen digital I/O lines are also included, which
are programmable and can be used to control external
devices such as component handlers or other instruments.
Additionally, system control can be greatly enhanced by
using our Test Script Processor (TSP) technology. This
technology provides “smart” instruments with the ability
to perform distributed processing and control at the
instrument level versus a central PC.

1. 20% overrange on AC functions except 1% on 300 V and 3.33% on 3 A. Default resolution is 5½ digits, maximum useable resolution is 6½ with 7½ digits programmable.
2. Specification are for Detector Bandwidth 3 and sinewave inputs >5% of range. Detector Bandwidth 3 and 30 are multi-sample A/D conversions. Detector bandwidth 300 is a single A/D
conversion, programmable from 0.0005 PLC to 15 PLC. Default condition set to 1 PLC.
3. Applies to 0°–18°C and 28°–50°C.
4. Specified for square wave inputs. Input signal must be >10% of ACV range. If input is <20 mV on the 100 mV range then the frequency must be >10 Hz. For sinewave inputs, frequency must be
>100 Hz.
5. Applies to non-sinewave inputs 5 Hz–>10 kHz, and DC content ≤ 3% of range.
6. For 1 kΩ unbalance in LO lead.
7. For 3721, 1 mA ACI, add 0.05% to “of reading” uncertainty from 250 Hz 10 kHz.
8. Shunt resistance guaranteed by design.
9. Reading rates are for 60 Hz (50 Hz) operation using factory defaults operating conditions dmm.reset(“all”), Autorange off, dmm.autodelay=dmm.OFF, dmm.opendetector=dmm.OFF, format.
data.=format.SREAL. Ranges as follows: DCV = 10 V, 2WΩ/4WΩ = 1 kΩ, DCI = 1 mA, Dry-Ckt Ω = 10 Ω, ACI = 1 mA, and ACV = 1 V. For Dry-Ckt Ω with Offset Comp OFF 2 kΩ, 60 rdg/s max. Dry-Ckt Ω
with Offset Comp ON 2 kΩ, 29.5 rdg/s max. For temperature reading rates use DCV for T/C and 2WΩ for Thermistor. Speeds are typical and include measurements and data transfer out the
Ethernet, GPIB, or USB.
10. DMM configured for single reading, dmm.measurecount=1, and print(dmm.measure()). May require additional settling delays for full accuracy, depending on measurement configuration.
11. DMM configured for multisample readings and single buffer transfer, dmm.measurecount=1000, buf=dmm.makebuffer(1000), dmm.measure(buf), and printbuffer(1,1000,buf).

3765 Hall Effect Card

All accessories needed to connect the sample holder,
scanner, instruments, and controller are included, greatly
simplifying connections and reducing setup time. The 3765
is connected directly to the sample, and all instruments are
connected via GPIB to the controller. The KHETS software
for making resistivity and Hall measurements is available on
our website (tek.com/keithley).

The 3765 can be operated in either low resistivity or

high resistivity mode. In the high resistivity mode, input
impedance is greater than 100 TΩ, input bias current is less
than 50 fA, and output resistance is 10 kΩ. Input voltage
ranges in both operating modes is –8 V to +8 V. If higher
voltage is desired, Keithley recommends using a 6221/6517B
system. Cabling and sample connections must be carefully
The 3765 Hall Effect Card is intended for those who want designed to make full use of the capabilities of the 3765.
to assemble their own economical Hall test systems. It Refer to Keithley’s Low Level Measurements handbook for
can also form the foundation of a full Hall Effect system. guidance in designing these connections.
Used along with the free software, the Keithley Hall Effect
Test Suite (KHETS), the 3765 is easily paired with Keithley
DMMs, current sources, and ammeters. The card and
KHETS software take advantage of the built-in DMM in the
3706A so that an external voltmeter is not required for
measurements.

The 3765 is a signal conditioning card designed to buffer

test signals from the Hall sample to the measurement
instrumentation and to switch current from a source to the
Hall sample. When used with Keithley’s 3706A mainframe,
the 3765 provides the switching capability to measure Hall
voltages as low as 50 nV and sample resistances in excess
of 1012 Ω.
