2-10 Remote Operation Series 2600 System SourceMeters User’s Manual

2600S-900-01 Rev. A / May 2006 Return to In this Section:

The procedure assumes the DUT (10kΩ resistor) is already connected to the

SourceMeter (

Figure 1-3 in Section 1 of this manual), and that the instrument

resource has already been opened (“Open and close an instrument resource”

earlier in this section).

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: Reset instrument

A good practice is to reset the instrument to its default settings before the start of

a test. To reset the SourceMeter, type the following command into the console

window, then press the Return key:

reset()

For Model 2602 or 2612, you can restore defaults of Channel A or Channel B

respectively as follows:

smua.reset()

smub.reset()

Step 2: Select source function and set output value

Enter the following commands to select the source voltage function, set the

source range to 20V (Models 2611/2612) or 40V Models 2601/2602), and set the

source value to 10V:

smua.source.func = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS

smua.source.rangev = 40 (use for Models 2601/2602)

smua.source.rangev = 20 (use for Models 2611/2612)

smua.source.levelv = 10

Step 3: Set compliance value and measure range

Enter the following commands to set the compliance limit and measure range to

10mA:

smua.source.limiti = 10e-3

smua.measure.rangei = 10e-3
