1 ms - 1 s
The A759-005 combines high dynamic range with 16-bit resolution, measuring input currents of 10 nA to 10 pA Full Scale. Maximum sampling rate is 1 kHz. Output via serial RS-422 interface with 1 MBaud data rate.
Static Charge Amplifier Variable Gain
The A7530 provides variable gain swichtable over 7 decades. It has a very low input bias current of < 100 fA. Input pulse currents of up to 500 mA peak can be integrated without loss of linearity.

Mini-modules
Compact requiring minimal space. It can be used near to the detector, even in complex
instruments with little space left. Due to this input cable length can be reduced to a minimum, thus reducing external interference and noise generated by cable capacitance. The mini-modules have dimensions of approximately 40 x 40 x 10 mm (fixed gain) or approximately 60 x 60 x 10 mm (variable gain), respectively.
