Description
Testing a battery-powered product means pushing current both ways, and the Keysight N6782A source measure unit does that. It also sources and sinks current in two quadrants, and it measures voltage and current at the same time. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, so you can borrow it or buy it.
Two ranges, one at a time
First, choose 20 V with up to 1 A, or 6 V with up to 3 A. The ranges do not combine, so 20 V and 3 A never occur together. Maximum source power is 20 W, so pick the range from your device first, then check the other limit.
| Outputs | 1 |
|---|---|
| Quadrants | 2; source and sink current |
| Output ranges | 20 V / 1 A or 6 V / 3 A |
| Maximum source power | 20 W |
| Compatible platforms | N6700 modular power systems and N6705 DC power analyzers |
| Sensing | Four-wire remote sense |
Why two quadrants matter
Because the unit can sink current, it acts as a load as well as a supply. Engineers use that to watch how a device draws and returns current as conditions change. Simultaneous voltage and current measurement also supports detailed power analysis. Programmable waveforms then add a repeatable stimulus.
Jobs for a Keysight N6782A source measure unit
- Advanced functional testing, such as boards and modules.
- Characterizing dynamic device current, because the unit sinks as well as sources.
- Automated power validation, then repeat runs on a compatible mainframe.
- Engineering troubleshooting, plus other measurement workflows.
Check the host before you ask
This module works in N6700 and N6705 systems, but you should also verify the firmware and the configuration. In addition, confirm the free slot, the total power budget and the output-disconnect relay option. Then list the load and sense leads, the connector block and the licenses. Missing mainframes, terminals or cables cause most delays, so Lost in HCM turns this list into a configuration checklist.
Rent, buy or arrange service
Rental suits a validation phase or a one-off characterization, while a purchase fits a lab that profiles device current every week. Service is also available on request, and you can state whether new or used equipment is acceptable.

N6782A questions
Can the N6782A sink current?
Yes. It is a two-quadrant unit, so it both sources and sinks current.
Can I get 20 V and 3 A together?
No. The unit offers 20 V with 1 A or 6 V with 3 A, so these are separate ranges.
Which systems host it?
It works in Keysight N6700 modular power systems and N6705 DC power analyzers. First, verify the firmware and configuration first.
