Section 1: Front and Rear Panel Operation Series 2600A System SourceMeter® Instruments User’s Manual
How do I power-up the instrument?
Step 1: Connect to line power
CAUTION Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage may cause damage
to the instrument, possibly voiding the warranty.
1. Before you plug the power cord into the Series 2600A, make sure that the front panel power
switch is in the off (O) position.
2. Connect the female end of the supplied power cord to the AC receptacle on the rear panel.
Connect the other end of the power cord to a grounded AC outlet.
WARNING Failure to use a grounded outlet may result in personal injury or
death due to electric shock.
Step 2: Turn on power
Turn on the instrument by pressing the front panel power switch to the on (I) position. Assuming no
errors occur, the Series 2600A will power-up as follows:
1. The OUTPUT indicators and display pixels flash briefly.
2. The following items are shown in sequence:
• The firmware revision number.
• The line frequency.
• The TSP-Link node.
• The enabled command interface(s) and address (GPIB/LAN/RS-232).
Step 3: Set line frequency
The Series 2600A will operate at line frequencies of either 50Hz or 60Hz. For best measurement
noise performance, the unit should be configured to match the actual line frequency used by
selecting MENU > LINE-FREQ > 50Hz, 60Hz, or AUTO (when set to AUTO, the SourceMeter will
automatically detect the power line frequency at power-up).
