To save the reading buffer data: 

1.  From the 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

 

4.  The 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 Model 2657A to a device that can deliver energy (for example, other voltage 
sources, batteries, capacitors, or solar cells). 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 Model 2657A instrument provides multiple output-off states. The multiple states are required 
because different types of connected devices (or loads) require different behaviors from the Model 
2657A 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 Model 2657A, such as a battery or capacitor. In these situations, you should use 
an output-off state that isolates the instrument from the device by either setting

How do I make contact check measurements?
