  • Automate selection of measurement method based upon current range
    • Single Pulse mode selected for low current range defined by LM-92
    • Differential Continuous Pulse mode selected for mid-current range (50us/25us pulse widths)
    • Differential Continuous Pulse mode selected for high current range (20us/10us pulse widths)
  • Pulse alignment to ensure accurate data
  • Time-aligned electrical and optical measurements
  • Fast execution – 6 measurements per second when using Instrument Systems CAS
  • Save recipes that define parameters for execution
  • User Interface enables operator selection of recipe for execution
  • Data export allows use in datasheets and customer literature
  • Key measurements included and graphically represented
    • Power/Irradiance vs Current (I)
    • Voltage vs Current (I)
    • Peak Wavelength vs Current (I)
    • Spectrum

What is LM-92?

LM-92 is a standard (document) that describes measurement science best methods (best practices) for optical and electrical measurements. Unlike other measurement standards described by LM-85, LM-92 recommends for the most accurate optical and electrical measurements, different measurement methods should be used based upon sweep current ranges. When using the LM-92 measurement method, you can expect a flat line LI curve that shows the true device characteristics.
