Step 3: Select measurement function and range.
Select measurement function and range as follows:
1. Put the Model 2602A/2612A/2636A in the single-channel display mode, then select the
desired measurement function by pressing MEAS or MODE.
2. Select the desired measurement range with the RANGE keys, or enable AUTO RANGE,
keeping the following points in mind:
• When measuring the source (such as 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 (such as 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 Series 2600A automatically
goes to the most sensitive range to make the measurement.
Step 4: Turn output on.
Turn the output on by pressing the ON/OFF OUTPUT key. The OUTPUT indicator light will turn on.
Step 5: Observe readings on the display.
Observe the readings on the display. Press TRIG if necessary to trigger the unit to begin taking
readings. For the single-channel display mode, the readings will appear on the top line, while
source and limit values are on the bottom line.
Step 6: Turn output off.
When finished, turn the output off by pressing the ON/OFF OUTPUT key. The OUTPUT indicator
light will turn off.
