Front-panel triggering example
This example uses the front panel to configure the trigger parameters to meet the
following requirements:
• Manual triggering (TRIG key)
• Infinite trigger count (cycle indefinitely through measurement cycles)
• Interval (time between measurements): 1 s
• Delay (time from trigger to measurement): 2 s
To configure the trigger parameters:
1. Press the CONFIG key, and then the TRIG key.
2. Select TRIGGER-IN, and then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel.
3. Select MANUAL, and then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel.
4. Select COUNT, then select INFINITE, and then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel.
5. Select INTERVAL, set the interval to 1 s, and then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel.
6. Choose DELAY, set the delay to 2 s, and then press the ENTER key.
7. Use the EXIT (LOCAL) to return to the normal display.
8. Press the OUTPUT ON/OFF control to turn the output on.
9. Press the TRIG key. A 2 s delay occurs before the first measurement. The instrument cycles
through measurements indefinitely with a 1 s interval between measurements.
10. Press the OUTPUT ON/OFF control again to stop making readings.
Configuring for measure-only tests using the MODE key
In addition to using the 2600B for conventional source-measure operations, you can also use it like a
meter to measure current, voltage, resistance, or power.
To configure the 2600B as a voltage meter, current meter, ohmmeter, or wattmeter:
1. Press the MODE key.
2. Turn the navigation wheel to select the type of meter from the menu (I-METER, V-METER,
OHM-METER, or WATT-METER).
3. Press the ENTER key to complete the configuration of the 2600B as the selected meter.
To manually configure the settings, refer to the following topics:
• Voltmeter and ammeter measurements (on page 2-14)
• Ohms measurements (on page 2-15)
• Power measurements (on page 2-19)
