Basic source-measure procedure
Front panel source-measure procedure
Use the following procedure to perform the basic source-measure operations of
the Series 2600 SourceMeter. The following procedure assumes that the
SourceMeter is already connected to the DUT as explained in Section 3.
WARNING Hazardous voltages may be present on the output and guard
terminals. To prevent electrical shock that could cause injury
or death, NEVER make or break connections to the Series 2600
while the output is on. Power off the equipment from the front
panel or disconnect the main power cord from the rear of the
SourceMeter before handling cables connected to the outputs.
Putting the equipment into standby does not guarantee the
outputs are not powered if a hardware or software fault occurs.
Step 1: Select and set source level.
Perform the following steps to select the source and edit the source value:
1. Press SRC as needed to select the V-Source or I-Source as indicated by
the units in the source field on the display. The flashing digit (cursor)
indicates which value is presently selected for editing.
2. Move the cursor to the digit to change, then press the Rotary Knob to enter
the EDIT mode, as indicated by the EDIT annunciator.
3. Use the RANGE keys to select a range that will accommodate the value
you want to set. (See
Section 6 for range information.) For best accuracy,
use the lowest possible source range.
4. Enter the desired source value, then press ENTER or the Rotary Knob to
complete editing.
Step 2: Set compliance limit.
Perform the following steps to edit the compliance limit value:
1. For the Model 2601/2611 or the Model 2602/2612 single-channel display
mode, press the LIMIT key.
2. For the Model 2602/2612 dual-channel display mode, press CONFIG then
