• Two independent SourceMeter channels (Models 2602/2612 only).
• Four-quadrant sink or source operation.
• Embedded Test Script Processor (TSP) accessible from any host interface
responds to high-speed test scripts comprised of instrument control
commands.
• Factory script sweep functions: linear staircase, logarithmic staircase, fixed
pulse, and custom sweeps.
• Five user-saved setups.
• Buffer storage and recall for at least 100,000 source-measure readings.
• Filtering to reduce reading noise.
• Supported remote interfaces: IEEE-488 (GPIB) and RS-232.
• TSP-Link: allows TSP-enabled instruments to trigger and communicate
with each other.
• Digital I/O port: allows the Series 2600 to control other devices.
1. All Model 2611/2612 System Source Meters manufactured by Keithley Instruments support the contact check
function. Only Model 2601/2602s with firmware revision 1.1.0 or later and SMU hardware revision E or later sup

port the contact check function. To determine the firmware and SMU hardware revisions, inspect the data returned
by the print(localnode.info()) command. The InstFwRev and SMUBrdRev keys contain the necessary information.
