Fundamental circuit configurations
The fundamental source-measure configurations for the Series 2600B are shown in the following
figure. When sourcing voltage, you can measure current or voltage (see A: Source V). When sourcing
current, you can measure voltage or current (see B: Source I). See
page 4-20) for detailed information.
