How do I make measurements?
Reference For more detailed information, see the following information in Section 4 of the
Series 2600 Reference Manual:
• "Basic source-measure procedure"
• "Ohms measurements"
• "Power measurements"
The measurement procedure below demonstrates how to set up the Series 2600 to source 10V
and measure current through a 10kΩ resistor.
WARNING Hazardous voltages may be present on the output and guard
terminals. To prevent electrical shock that could cause injury or
death, NEVER make or break connections to the Series 2600 while
the output is on. Power off the equipment from the front panel or
disconnect the main power cord from the rear of the SourceMeter
before handling cables connected to the outputs. Putting the
equipment into standby does not guarantee the outputs are not
powered if a hardware or software fault occurs.
Step 1: Connect the DUT
Connect a 10kΩ resistor to the SourceMeter Channel A HI and LO terminals as shown in
Figure 1-4 on page 1-14 (Models 2601/2602/2611/2612) or Figure 1-5 on page 1-15 (Models
2635/2636). See Section 3 of the Series 2600 Reference Manual for complete information.
Step 2: Select source and set source level
Perform the following steps to select the voltage source and set the source value to 10V:
1. Press Channel A SRC to select the V-Source as indicated by the “V” units in the source
field on the display. The flashing cursor indicates which value is presently selected for
editing.
2. Press the up RANGE key, and select the 20V source range (Model 2611/2612/2635/2636)
or 40V source range (Model 2601/2602). Use the lowest possible source range for best
accuracy.
3. Use the CURSOR keys to move the cursor to the 10s digit, then press the navigation
wheel to enter the EDIT mode (EDIT indicator displays).
4. Using either the numeric keys or the navigation wheel, set the source value to 10.0000V,
then press ENTER or the navigation wheel.
Step 3: Set compliance limit
Perform the following steps to set the current compliance limit value to 10mA:
1. Put the Model 2602/2612/2636 in the single-channel display mode with the DISPLAY key.
2. Press the LIMIT key, then press ENTER or the navigation wheel.
3. Move the cursor to the 10s digit, then press the navigation wheel to enter the EDIT mode.
4. Using the numeric keys or the navigation wheel, set the limit value to 10.000mA, then
press ENTER or the navigation wheel.
