Series 2600A System SourceMeter® Instruments User’s Manual Section 1: Front and Rear Panel Operation
How do I use the reading buffer?
The instrument has two dedicated reading buffers per channel that can store over 60,000 readings
with the time stamps and source values options enabled. Disable the time stamps and source
values options to store over 140,000 readings.
The following example shows how to store 100 readings, source values, and timestamps in
Channel A, Buffer 1 and recall them from the front panel.
Step 1: Connecting the device under test (DUT)
Connect a 10kΩ resistor to the Channel A HI and LO terminals (see Figure 1-4).
Step 2: Set up source and measure functions
Using the procedure described in How do I make measurements?, set up source and measure
functions:
• Source function: Volts.
• Source range: 20 V (2611A/2612A/2635A/2636A) or 40V (2601A/2602A).
• Source value: 10 V.
• Measure function: Current.
• Measure range: Auto.
Step 3: Configuring the reading buffer
Complete the following steps to configure reading buffers from the front panel:
1. Press CONFIG > STORE and then choose one of the following:
• CHANA-BUFF
• CHANB-BUFF
2. Select the DEST option and then choose one of the following:
• CHANX-BUFF1
• CHANX-BUFF2
• NONE
3. Select BUFFER1 or BUFFER2.
4. (Optional) To clear the buffer, turn the navigation wheel to select CLEAR > YES.
5. Turn the navigation wheel to select ELEMENTS.
NOTE You must clear the reading buffer before you enable or disable the
source value or the time stamp options.
6. (Optional) Push the navigation wheel to select TSTAMP, then select OFF or ON.
7. (Optional) Turn the navigation wheel to select SRC-VAL, then select OFF or ON.
