The SR830 simultaneously displays the magnitude and phase of a signal, while the SR810 displays magnitude only. Both instruments use digital signal processing (DSP) to replace the demodulators, output filters, and amplifiers found in conventional lock-ins. The SR810 and SR830 provide uncompromised performance with an operating range of 1 mHz to 102 kHz and 100 dB of drift-free dynamic reserve.Input ChannelThe SR810 and SR830 Lock-In Amplifiers have differential inputs with 6 nV/√Hz input noise. The input impedance is 10 MΩ, and minimum full-scale input voltage sensitivity is 2 nV. The input can also be configured for current measurements with selectable current gains of 106 and 108 V/A. A line filter (50 Hz or 60 Hz) and a 2× line filter (100 Hz or 120 Hz) are provided to eliminate line related interference. However, unlike conventional lock-in amplifiers, no tracking band-pass filter is needed at the input. This filter is used by conventional lock-ins to increase dynamic reserve. Unfortunay, band pass filters also introduce noise, amplitude and phase error, and drift. The DSP based design of these lock-ins has such inherently large dynamic reserve that no tracking band-pass filter is needed.Extended Dynamic ReserveThe dynamic reserve of a lock-in amplifier at a given full-scale input voltage is the ratio (in dB) of the largest interfering signal to the full-scale input voltage. The largest interfering signal is defined as the amplitude of the largest signal at any frequency that can be applied to the input before the lock-in cannot measure a signal with its specified accuracy.Conventional lock-in amplifiers use an analog demodulator to mix an input signal with a reference signal. Dynamic reserve is limited to about 60 dB, and these instruments suffer from poor stability, output drift, and excessive gain and phase error. Demodulation in the SR810 Lock-In Amplifier and SR830 Lock-In Amplifier is accomplished by sampling the input signal with a high-precision A/D converter, and multiplying the digitized input by a synthesized reference signal. This digital demodulation technique results in more than 100 dB of true dynamic reserve (no prefiltering) and is free of the errors associated with analog instruments.Digital FilteringThe digital signal processor also handles the task of output filtering, allowing time constants from 10 μsec to 30,000 s, with a choice of 6, 12, 18 and 24 dB/oct rolloff. For low frequency measurements (below 200 Hz), synchronous filters can be engaged to notch out multiples of the reference frequency. Since the harmonics of the reference have been eliminated (notably 2F), effective output filtering can be achieved with much shorter time constants.

Digital Phase ShiftingAnalog phase shifting circuits have also been replaced with a DSP calculation. Phase is measured with 0.01° resolution, and the X and Y outputs are orthogonal to 0.001°.Frequency SynthesizerThe built-in direct digital synthesis (DDS) source generates a very low distortion (-80 dBc) reference signal. Single frequency sine waves can be generated from 1 mHz to 102 kHz with 4? digits of resolution. Both frequency and amplitude can be set from the front panel or from a computer. When using an external reference, the synthesized source is phase locked to the reference signal.Auto FunctionsAuto-functions allow parameters that are frequently adjusted to automatically be set by the instrument. Gain, phase, offset and dynamic reserve are each quickly optimized with a single key press. The offset and expand features are useful when examining small fluctuations in a measurement. The input signal is quickly nulled with the auto-offset function, and resolution is increased by expanding around the relative value by up to 100×. Harmonic detection is no longer limited to only the 2F component. Any harmonic (2F, 3F, ... nF) up to 102 kHz can now be measured without changing the reference frequency.Analog Inputs and OutputsBoth instruments have a user-defined output for measuring X, R, X-noise, Aux1, Aux 2, or the ratio of the input signal to an external voltage. The SR830 has a second, user-defined output that measures Y, Θ, Y-noise, Aux 3, Aux 4 or ratio. The SR810 and SR830 both have X and Y analog outputs (rear panel) that are updated at 256 kHz. Four auxiliary inputs (16-bit ADCs) are provided for general purpose use-like normalizing the input to source intensity fluctuations. Four programmable outputs (16-bit DACs) provide voltages from -10.5 V to +10.5 V and are settable via the front panel or computer interfaces.Internal MemoryThe SR810 Lock-In has an 8,000 point memory buffer for recording the time history of a measurement at rates up to 512 samples/s. The SR830 has two 16,000 point buffers to simultaneously record two measurements. Data is transferred from the buffers using the computer interfaces. A trigger input is also provided to externally synchronize data recording.Easy OperationThe SR810 Lock-In Amplifier and SR830 Lock-In Amplifier are simple to use. All instrument functions are set from the front-panel keypad, and a spin knob is provided to quickly adjust parameters. Up to nine different instrument configurations can be stored in non-volatile RAM for fast and easy instrument setup. Standard RS-232 and GPIB (IEEE-488.2) interfaces allow communication with computers. All functions can be controlled and read through the interfaces.SR810 and SR830 Lock-In AmplifiersSignal ChannelVoltage inputs Single-ended or differentialSensitivity 2 nV to 1 VCurrent input 106 or 108 V/AInput impedance Voltage input 10 MΩ + 25 pF, AC or DC coupled Current input 1 kΩ to virtual groundGain accuracy ±1 % (±0.2 % typ.)Noise 6 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz0.13 pA/√Hz at 1 kHz (106 V/A)0.013 pA/√Hz at 100 Hz (108 V/A)Line filters 50/60 Hz and 100/120 Hz (Q=4)CMRR 100 dB at 10 kHz, decreasing by 6 dB/oct above 10 kHzDynamic reserve >100 dB (without prefilters)Stability <5 ppm/°C
