Series 2600 System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual Section 4: Basic Operation
• When measuring the source (i.e., 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 (i.e., 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 SourceMeter 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.
Remote source-measure procedure
Basic source-measurement procedures can also be performed via remote by sending appropriate
commands in the right sequence. The following table summarizes the basic commands and gives
a simple programming example.
Basic source-measure commands
Table 4-6 summarizes basic source-measure commands. See Section 12 for more information on
