Section 5: Sourcing and measuring
Source-measure capabilities
From the virtual front panel, you can configure the instrument to perform the following
source-measure operations:
•
Source voltage: Measure and display current, voltage, resistance, or power
•
Source current: Measure and display voltage, current, resistance, or power
•
Measure resistance: Display resistance calculated from voltage and current components of
measurement (can optionally specify source voltage or source current value)
•
Measure power: Display power calculated from voltage and current components of
measurement (can optionally specify source voltage or source current value)
•
Measure only (V or I): Display voltage or current measurement
Virtual front-panel source-measure procedure
Use the following procedure to perform the basic source-measure operations of the 2606B SMU
using the virtual front panel. The following procedure assumes that the 2606B is already connected to
the device under test (DUT), as explained in
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 2606B 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 2606B 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 accommodates the value you want to set. 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.
