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

Step 3: Select the measurement function and range
Select measurement function and range as follows:
1. Select the measurement function by pressing the MEAS key.
2. Set the measurement range with the RANGE keys, or enable AUTO range. When setting the
range, consider the following points:
â–ª When measuring the source (such as when sourcing V and measuring V), you cannot select
the measurement range using the RANGE keys. The selected source range determines the
measurement range.
â–ª When not measuring the source (such as when sourcing V but measuring I), measurement
range selection can be done manually or automatically. When using manual ranging, use the
lowest possible range for best accuracy. When autorange is enabled, the 2601B-PULSE
automatically goes to the most sensitive range to make the measurement.
Step 4: Turn the output on
Turn on the output by pressing the OUTPUT ON/OFF switch. The OUTPUT indicator light turns on.
Step 5: Observe readings on the display.
Press the TRIG key if necessary to trigger the instrument to begin taking readings. The readings are
on the top line, and source and limit values are on the bottom line.
Step 6: Turn the output off
When finished, turn the output off by pressing the OUTPUT ON/OFF switch. The OUTPUT indicator
light turns off.
Remote source-measure commands
Basic source-measurement procedures can also be performed through a remote interface. To do this,
send the appropriate commands. The following table summarizes basic source-measure commands.
See Introduction to TSP operation (on page 9-1) for more information on using these commands.
Some source-measure commands are not available when the pulser is enabled. Refer to Settings
ignored when the pulser is enabled (on page 4-36) for information on those commands.
