I400 - 4 Channel Biased Input Charge Integrating Electrometer

The I400 is intended for the measurement of small charges or corresponding currents (from pA to µA) generated by devices such as ionization chambers, in-vacuum beam position monitors, proportional chambers, and photodiodes. Four input channels make the I400 particularly well-suited to four-quadrant electrode systems used for beam centering. The unit may be stand-alone or networked with other devices and integrated into a larger system.

See the I404 for an electrometer with unbiased inputs suitable for detectors at ground potential.
