Section 4: Sourcing and measuring Model 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual

4-30 2601B-PULSE-901-01A April 2020

Basic source-measure procedure

Front-panel source-measure procedure

Use the following procedure to perform the basic source-measure operations of the 2601B-PULSE

SMU using the front panel. The following procedure assumes that the 2601B-PULSE is already

connected to the device under test (DUT), as explained in DUT test connections (on page 4-6).

Hazardous voltages may be present on all output and guard terminals. To prevent electrical

shock that could cause injury or death, never make or break connections to the 2601B-PULSE

while the instrument is powered on. Turn off the equipment from the front panel or

disconnect the main power cord from the rear of the 2601B-PULSE before handling cables.

Putting the equipment into standby does not guarantee that the outputs are powered off if a

hardware or software fault occurs.

Step 1: Select and set the source level

To select the source and edit the source value:

1. Press the SRC key as needed to select the voltage source or current source, as indicated by the

units in the source field on the display. The flashing digit (cursor) indicates which value is

presently selected for editing.

2. Move the cursor to the digit to change, then press the navigation wheel to enter the

EDIT mode.

3. Use the RANGE keys to select a range that will accommodate the value you want to set. See

Range (on page 4-54) for more information. For best accuracy, use the lowest possible

source range.

4. Enter the source value.

5. Press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel to complete editing.

Step 2: Set the compliance limit

Perform the following steps to edit the compliance limit value:

1. Press the LIMIT key.

2. Move the cursor to the digit to change, then press the navigation wheel to enter the EDIT

mode, as indicated by the EDIT indicator.

3. Enter the limit value, then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel to complete editing.
