SR830 Lockin Amplifier

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on using the SR830 Lock-In Amplifier (LIA) to measure the current of a Hall bar device. The user seeks to apply a sine wave voltage at one terminal while measuring current at the gating electrode, treating the setup as a capacitor. Concerns arise regarding potential overload in the X and Y outputs due to high resistance values. The conversation also touches on the distinction between measuring DC and AC magnetic fields and the importance of understanding the experimental setup. Clarification through a diagram is requested to better visualize the proposed method.

How can i use sr830 amplifier to measure current(I) of a hall device?
I want to measure the current of hall bar device using sr830 LIA. it is possible with sr830 to measure current but how ?

Welcome to PF.

What have you found in your research on this so far? How much have you used Lock-In amplifiers in the past, and for what tasks? What does your experiment look like so far for measuring the current of your Hall sensor (versus magnetic field?)?
 
The SR 830 has a current measurement mode shown in the user manual. However, most Hall devices provide an output voltage.
Do you want to measure a DC or AC magnetic field?

Thankyou all for the reply
actually what i want to do was put sin out at one voltage terminal and A at the gating electrode, From there measure the current. basically it will be acting as a capacitor. the resistance between the voltage terminal and gate electrode is in Mohm. So by using A(Current input 10^6 or 10^8) i think it is possible but it might show overload in X and Y
 
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you want to do. Could you post a diagram?
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
