CD-ROM contents
Two CD-ROMs are shipped with each Series 2600B order. The Series 2600B Quick Start Guide and
Reference Manual are provided in PDF format on the Series 2600B Product Information CD-ROM.

basic operation information. If you are new to Keithley Instruments equipment, refer to the Quick
Start Guide to take the steps needed to unpack, set up, and verify operation.
• Reference Manual: Includes advanced operation topics and maintenance information.
Programmers looking for a command reference, and users looking for an in-depth description of

A second CD-ROM contains the Test Script Builder script development software (Keithley
Instruments part number KTS-850). Use this CD-ROM to install the Test Script Builder Integrated

on the instrument eliminates the need to send individual commands from the host computer to the
instrument when running a test.
