Autoranging
To use automatic source ranging, press SRC then the AUTO range key.
To use automatic measure ranging, press the MEAS key followed by the AUTO range key. The
AUTO indicator turns on when source or measure autoranging is selected.
When autorange is selected, the instrument automatically sets the best range to source or measure
the applied signal. The instrument increases the range to 100 percent of the present range.
When you change a source value, source autoranging is automatically turned off and remains off
until you re-enable it.
Low range limits
The low range limit sets the lowest range that the 2600B uses when autoranging is enabled. This
feature is useful for minimizing autorange settling times when measurements require numerous
range changes.
To individually set low range limits for Source V, Source I, Measure V, and Measure I:
1. Press the CONFIG key, then press either the SRC key (for source) or the MEAS key
(for measure).
2. Select voltage or current source, or measure, as appropriate, and then press the ENTER key or
the navigation wheel.
3. Select LOWRANGE, and then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel.
4. Set the low range to the appropriate setting, and then press the ENTER key or
the navigation wheel.
5. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key twice to return to the main display.
