Configuring For Measure-Only Tests Using The Mode Key - Keithley 2601B Reference Manual

Series 2600B System SourceMeter® Instrument Reference Manual
COUNT: Sets the trigger count (number of measurements) as follows:
•
FINITE: The instrument goes through measurement cycles for the programmed trigger count (1 to
99999).
•
INFINITE: The instrument goes through measurement cycles indefinitely until halted.
INTERVAL: Sets the time interval between measurements (0 s to 999.999 s) when the count is
greater than 1.
DELAY: Sets the delay period between the trigger and the start of measurement (0 s to 999.999 s).
Front-panel triggering example
This example configures 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 TRIG. 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 taking readings.

Configuring for measure-only tests using the MODE key

In addition to being used for conventional source-measure operations, the Series 2600B can also be
used like a meter to measure current, voltage, resistance, or power.
To configure the Series 2600B as a V-meter, I-meter, ohm-meter, or watt-meter:
1. Press the MODE key.
2. Turn the navigation wheel
OHM-METER, or WATT-METER).
3. Press the ENTER key to complete the configuration of the Series 2600B as the selected meter.
