Series 2600 System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
Section 1: Getting Started
1 Special keys and power switch:
DISPLAY
Toggles between the various source-measure displays and the user message mode.
Selects Model 2602/2612/2636 single or dual-channel display.
CONFIG
Use to configure a function or operation.
POWER
Power switch: The in position turns SourceMeter on (I); the out position turns it off (O).
Number
The number keys (0-9, +/-, 0000) allow direct numeric entry in the EDIT mode.
Keys
2 Source-measure setup, performance control, and special operation:
Top row
Models 2601, 2602, 2611, 2612, 2635, and 2636:
SRC
Channel A selects the source function (V or A) and places cursor in the source field for
editing.
MEAS
Channel A cycles through measure functions (V, A,
Ω,
or W).
LIMIT
Channel A places the cursor in the compliance limit field for editing.
MODE
Channel A directly chooses the measurement function (V, A,
Ω,
or W).
Models 2602, 2612, and 2636 only:
SRC
Channel B selects the source function (V or A) and places cursor in the source field.
MEAS
Channel B cycles through measure functions (V, A,
Ω,
or W).
LIMIT
Channel B places the cursor in the compliance limit field for editing.
MODE
Channel B directly chooses the measurement function (V, A,
Ω,

Middle row
Models 2601, 2602, 2611, 2612,
2635, and 2636
:
DIGITS
Channel A changes display resolution to 4-1/2, 5-1/2, or 6-1/2 digits.
SPEED
Channel A sets the measurement speed by controlling the A/D converter measurement
aperture.
REL
Channel A controls relative, which allows a baseline value to be subtracted from a reading.
FILTER
Channel A controls the digital filter, which can be used to reduce reading noise.
Models 2602, 2612, and 2636 only:

RUN
Runs the last selected factory or user-defined scripts.
STORE
Stores readings, source values, and timestamp values in one of two internal buffers
per channel for later recall.
RECALL
Recalls stored readings, source values, and timestamp values from either of the two buffers.
