Installing the Test Script Builder software
To install the TSB software, close all programs, place the CD (Keithley Instruments part number:
KTS-850) into your CD-ROM drive and follow the on-screen instructions. If your web browser does
not start automatically and display a screen with software installation links, open the index.html file
found on the CD using your web browser.
System connections
Up to 16 Series 2600 instruments can be used in a test system. The host interface for the test
system can be the GPIB or the RS-232. For the GPIB, an IEEE-488 cable is used to connect the
PC to one of the Series 2600 instruments. For the RS-232, a straight-through RS-232 cable
terminated with DB-9 connectors is used to connect the PC to one of the Series 2600 instruments.
Keep in mind that the GPIB or RS-232 cable is only required to be connected to one of the Series
2600 instruments. Communication to the other Series 2600 instruments can be accomplished via
the TSP-Link (see
Section 9).
GPIB
GPIB connections
To connect the Series 2600 to the GPIB bus, use a cable equipped with standard IEEE-488
connectors, as shown in
Figure 2-3. The IEEE-488 connector is located on the rear panel of the
SourceMeter. When connecting the cable, make sure to tighten the captive screws.
