How do I use the buffer?
Reference See Section 7 of the Series 2600 Reference Manual for more detailed information on
using the buffer.
The instrument has two buffers per channel that can store from 1 to more than 100,000 readings.
Each buffer reading is numbered and can also include the source value and a timestamp.
The following example shows how to store 100 readings, source values, and timestamps in
Channel A, Buffer 1 and recall them from the front panel.
Step 1: Connect the DUT
Connect a 10kΩ resistor to the Channel A HI and LO terminals (see Figure 1-4 on page 1-14).
Step 2: Set up source and measure functions
Using the procedure described in “How do I make measurements?” on page 1-12, set up source
and measure functions:
• Source function: volts
• Source range: 20V (2611/2612/2635/2636) or 40V (2601/2602)
• Source value: 10V
• Measure function: current
• Measure range: auto
Step 3: Configure the buffer
1. From the front panel, press the STORE key.
The Count screen displays.
2. Use the navigation wheel to select the number of readings and then press ENTER.
NOTE You can store up to 100.
3. Choose CONFIG > STORE > CHANA_BUFF, then the press the navigation wheel to select
Channel A.
4. Select DEST > CHANA_BUFFER1, and then press ENTER.
NOTE The message “Cant’ change dest buffers” while storing displays if the
instrument is in store mode.
5. Choose
CHANA
-
BUFF1
, then press the
navigation wheel
to set up Buffer 1.
Complete the following steps to clear the Buffer 1.
1. Select BUFFER1 > CLEAR.
2. Select YES.
3. Choose ELEMENTS.
4. Select SRC-VAL and then choose ON to enable the source value.
5. Select TSTAMP and then choose ON to enable timestamps.
6. Press EXIT until the normal display.
