Fuse Replacement; Remote Communications Interfaces; Supported Remote Interfaces - Tektronix KEITHLEY System SourceMeter 2636B Reference Manual

Section 2: Installation
To configure the line frequency from a remote interface:
Set the localnode.linefreq or the localnode.autolinefreq attribute. To set the line
frequency to 60 Hz, send:
localnode.linefreq = 60
To configure the instrument to automatically detect line frequency at each power-up:
localnode.autolinefreq = true

Fuse replacement

The power receptacle contains a fuse drawer (refer to
the power line input of the instrument. If the line fuse needs to be replaced, refer to
replacement

Remote communications interfaces

You can choose from one of several communication interfaces to send commands to and receive
responses from the Series 2600B.
You can control the Series 2600B from only one communications interface at a time. The first
interface on which the instrument receives a message takes control of the instrument. If another
interface sends a message, that interface can take control of the instrument. You may need to enter a
password to change the interface, depending on the access mode.
The Series 2600B automatically detects the type of communications interface (LAN, USB, GPIB, or
RS-232) when you connect to the respective port on the rear panel of the instrument. In most cases,
you do not need to configure anything on the instrument. In addition, you do not need to reboot if you
change the type of interface that is connected.

Supported remote interfaces

The Series 2600B supports the following remote interfaces:
•
GPIB. General purpose interface bus is an IEEE-488 instrumentation data bus.
•
LAN. Local area network (LAN) communications provide the flexibility to build scalable and
functional test or data acquisition systems with a large degree of flexibility.
•
USB. Communicate with the instrument over a USB connection.
•
RS-232.
The Series 2600B can be controlled from only one communication interface at a time. The first
interface from which it receives a message takes control of the instrument. It ignores the other
interfaces until the instrument is returned to local operation.
