Overview
Reading buffers capture measurements, ranges, instrument status, and output state of the Keithley
Instruments 2601B-PULSE. The 2601B-PULSE has two default reading buffers. In addition to the
default buffers, you can create user-defined reading buffers. You can use the reading buffers to
acquire readings.
You can access reading buffers from the front panel or over the remote command interface.
The default reading buffers can store can store over 60,000 readings if you enable the options for
timestamps and source values. To store over 140,000 readings internally, you can disable the
timestamps and source values.
You can save reading buffers to internal nonvolatile memory in the instrument or to a USB flash drive.
Once you save the reading buffers to a USB flash drive, insert the USB flash drive into the USB port
on your computer to view the data in any compatible data analysis application or to transfer the data
from the USB flash drive to your computer.
Front-panel reading buffer control
The dedicated reading buffers can be configured, stored, and recalled when in local mode operation.
Use the front panel to navigate and configure the reading buffers options and to save and recall
stored readings.
Reading buffer options
The following listing outlines the menu structure and menu items associated with front panel reading
buffer control. This section provides a description for each reading buffer option. Use the procedure in
Configuring reading buffers (on page 5-2) as a guideline to configure these reading buffer options.
CHANA-BUFF: Configures Channel A buffer.
• DEST: Sets data storage destination (buffer 1, buffer 2, or none).
