summarizes the basic commands and give a simple programming example.
2600S-901-01 Rev. A / May 2006
Enter the desired limit value, then press ENTER or the Rotary Knob to
complete editing.
Put the Model 2602/2612 in the single-channel display mode, then select
the desired measurement function by pressing MEAS or MODE.
Select the desired measurement range with the RANGE keys, or enable
AUTO RANGE, keeping the following points in mind:
• When measuring the source (i.e., Source V Measure V), you cannot
select the measurement range using the RANGE keys. The selected
source range determines the measurement range.
• When not measuring the source (i.e., Source V Measure I),
measurement range selection can be done manually or automatically.
When using manual ranging, use the lowest possible range for best
accuracy. In auto range, the SourceMeter automatically goes to the
most sensitive range to make the measurement.
