Carefully consider and configure the appropriate output-off state, source, and compliance limits
before connecting the Series 2600B to a device that can deliver energy (for example, other voltage
sources, batteries, capacitors, solar cells, or other Series 2600B 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 following
(see "
" on page 2-56) show how to use the SMUs of
two Series 2600A instruments to test a 3-terminal device, such as an N-channel JFET (see
(on page 6-52) for information on using multiple Series 2600A instruments). A
typical application is for the Model 263xB to source a range of gate voltages, while the Series 2600B
sources voltage to the drain of the device and measures current at each gate voltage.
