• Overview — Provides an overview of the pulse current measurement process.
• Measurement configuration — Explains how to configure the instrument for pulse
current measurements.
• Pulse current measurement procedure — Provides the step-by-step procedure to perform
pulse current measurements from the front panel.
• SCPI programming — pulse current measurements — Documents the commands used
to program the instrument for pulse current measurements, and covers pulse current dig-
itization (which can only be performed over the GPIB).
• Pulse current digitization — Explains how to digitize a current waveform.
• Pulse current step method — Explains use of the pulse current step method to perform
a series of different trigger level measurements on the same trigger level range.
• Programming examples — Seven programming examples are provided; two for pulse
current measurements, two for pulse current digitization, and three for pulse current step
method.
NOTES This manual covers Keithley Models 2302, 2302-PJ, 2306, 2306-PJ, and 2306-VS
simulators (power supplies). Since the Model 2302 and 2302-PJ are single channel
battery simulators, functions related to the second channel (i.e., the charger channel)
are not available for the Model 2302 and 2302-PJ. Therefore:
• battery and charger channel features contained in this manual apply for the
Model 2306, 2306-PJ, and 2306-VS
• only battery channel features contained in this manual apply for the Model 2302
and 2302-PJ
Refer to Appendix F for specific Model 2302 and 2302-PJ information.
Information contained in this section applies to all power supply channels (unless
otherwise noted). In this manual, channel 1 refers to the battery channel while chan-
nel 2 refers to the charger channel (2306, 2306-PJ, and 2306-VS feature only).
