Source Measure Units (SMU)
In addition to the classic electronic loads presented above, there is a group of devices similar in functionality, which are called calibrators-multimeters or Source Measure Units (SMU) - source-measuring devices. These devices are more expensive and significantly less powerful than electronic loads, but are great for applications where accuracy is very important: in scientific research and metrology laboratories. The table below shows the best models of these devices of the brand Keithley.
