Overview
The documentation in this section provides detailed information on using

Selecting an interface
The Series 2600 SourceMeter supports two built-in remote interfaces:
• GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus)
• RS-232 interface
You can manually select the GPIB or RS-232 interface, or have the unit
automatically select the interface (the default) by using the COMMUNICATIONS
menu accessed with the MENU key. The unit can only be remote to one interface
at a time. In auto-select, the unit will remote to the first interface on which it
receives a message. It will ignore the other interface until the unit is taken back to
local operation.
When the unit powers up, it will display the communication parameters of the
selected interface. If auto-selection is enabled, the unit will display the
communication parameters of both interfaces.
NOTE See Section 2 for more information on the GPIB and RS-232
communications interfaces. The TSP-Link is also a
communications interface. See
Section 9 for details.
