Welcome
Thank you for choosing a Keithley Instruments product. The Series 2600B System SourceMeter
®
instrument provides manufacturers of electronic components and semiconductor devices with an
instrument that combines source and measurement capabilities in a single instrument called a
source-measure unit (also called a SMU). This combination simplifies test processes by eliminating
synchronization and connection issues associated with multiple instrument solutions. A 2600B
provides a scalable, high throughput, highly cost-effective solution for precision dc, pulse, and low
frequency ac source-measure testing that also maintains code compatibility throughout the Series
2600B SourceMeter instruments.
This manual describes basic operation for the Models 2601B, 2602B, 2604B, 2611B, 2612B, 2614B,
2634B, 2635B, and 2636B.
Extended warranty

protect you from unbudgeted service expenses and provide additional years of protection at a fraction
of the price of a repair. Extended warranties are available on new and existing products. Contact your
