How do I store measurements in nonvolatile memory? 

After the measurements are complete, you can save the reading buffer data to the nonvolatile 
memory in the instrument. 

 

To save the reading buffer data: 

1.  From the virtual front panel, press the 

STORE

 key, and then select 

SAVE

. 

2.  Select 

INTERNAL

 to save to internal nonvolatile memory. 

3.  Select one of the following: 

 

SMUA_BUFFER1

 

 

SMUA_BUFFER2

 

 

SMUB_BUFFER1

 

 

SMUB_BUFFER2

 

4.  The virtual front panel displays 

Saving... This may take awhile

. 

5.  Press the 

EXIT (LOCAL)

 key to return to the main menu. 

For additional information, see 

Saving reading buffers

 (on page 3-8). 

When should I change the output-off state? 

Carefully consider and configure the appropriate output-off state, source, and compliance 
limits before connecting the 2606B to a device that can deliver energy (for example, other 
voltage sources, batteries, capacitors, solar cells, or other 2606B instruments). Configure 
recommended instrument settings before making connections to the device. Failure to 
consider the output-off state, source, and compliance limits may result in damage to the 
instrument or to the device under test (DUT). 

 

The 2606B instrument provides multiple output-off states. The multiple states are required because 
different types of connected devices (or loads) require different behaviors from the 2606B when its 
output is turned off.  

For example, a passive device such as a diode is not affected by a 0 V source connected across its 
terminals when the output is turned off. However, connecting a 0 V source to the terminals of a 
battery causes the battery to discharge. Therefore, careful selection of the proper output-off state is 
important to prevent damage to devices and instruments. This is especially true when the device can 
deliver energy to the 2606B, such as a battery or capacitor or when another SourceMeter instrument 
is connected across the output terminals. In these situations, you should use an output-off state that 
isolates the instrument from the device by either setting 

smu

X

.source.offfunc = 

smu

X

.OUTPUT_DCAMPS

 or 

smu

X

.source.offfunc = smu

X

.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS

, as applicable. 

There are other guidelines to follow when connecting the output of multiple 2606B instruments to get 
a larger current or voltage. Please refer to the following references for more information:
