Model 2601A/2602A continuous power operating boundaries
Model 2611A/2635A/2612A/2636A continuous power operating boundaries
The general operating boundaries for Model 2611A/2612A continuous power output are shown in
Figure 4-2 (see General SourceMeter instrument power equation in this section for derating
factors). In this drawing, the 1.5A, 20V and 100mA, 200V magnitudes are nominal values. Also
note that the boundaries are not drawn to scale.

Model 2601A/2602A I-Source operating boundaries
Figure 4-3 shows the operating boundaries for the I-Source. Only the first quadrant of operation is
covered. Operation in the other three quadrants is similar.
