RE: KEITHLEY 2612B Source Meter SCPI Command Setup
Hello Eniola,
The 26XX line of SMU's do not take SCPI commands. We utilize a command set known as TSP (test script processor) which operates in a similar way. I'll link the reference manual below, see page 2-51 and on for sweep functions and there are examples provided as you read along. Specifically, see section 9 for all TSP commands.
Additionally, I would recommend downloading TSB (Test Script Builder) which will allow you to program and run commands remotely. In the navigator pane on the left hand side, you can find examples for a linear IV sweep example which would help you to start building and customizing your setup once you've read the sections I recommended above.

RE: Zero check and Zero correct of 6514
Hello,
Zero check is a feature that notes the internal voltage offset within the unit. Zero correct allows you to algebraically subtract the internal voltage offset value from your measurement thereby correcting the value of zero within the instrument. Very similar to a REL function, however REL can be used to subtract out ANY level of signal or reading. Zero check/correct is specifically for correcting the value of zero by subtracting internal voltage offsets that would otherwise result in the instrument reading slightly higher than "true" zero.
Zero Check and Zero correct should both be done prior to making a measurement. Zero check willl be disabled to perform a reading.
See the manual I'm attaching below for more info. Ref pages 2-13 and on.

RE: 2110 DMM Update problem
Kenneth,
Did the error first show after trying to update firmware or was this before?
What version were you on and which version were you upgrading to?
We have seen some issues when updating from older firmware to newer even though there is no hardware mismatching. I'm afraid this unit may need to be sent in to service for our team to look in to if this error does not go away. I'll attach the service link below just in case:

RE: KTH-2651A Minimum Operating Voltage as Load
Hello,- Minimum operating voltage in 4th Quadrant as sink mode(or load mode)
The other case is that we can control output voltage level by compliance voltage in the current source mode. In this case, we have 10mV minimum in compliance voltage programing. I would not recommend the second case for accurate voltage sourcing applications.
- Pulse Condition
- Output Off mode

RE: Interlock 6517b
Hello,
Interlock is a safety feature designed to protect users from harmful levels of voltage. The amount of support I am able to offer in return is therefore limited.
All information regarding Interlock can be found in the 6517B manual. Reference pages 3-12 and on for more information.

RE: How loud are the fans on dual channel SMUs?
Hello Jeremy,
We don’t have an exact number for the sound noise, but we have noise with maximum load conditions under 80 dBA for 2604B. This is the safety requirement for sound level. We confirm that the instrument 2604B complied with the requirement. But we don’t have actual noise under 80 dBA in number. -
RE: SMU as a static load resistance
Hello,
You can program a 2450 SMU to sink current and measure voltage. See attached PNG for reference to the power envelope for this unit. If sinking up to 1A, you will be limited up to 20V, and if sinking up to 100mA, you will be limited up to 200V.
If you need to maintain a steady 1uOhm load resistance, your V and I will need to stay fixed. If your voltage changes for example, you will need to adjust the current appropriately. This can be done via custom programming but there will be a delay before establishing a dedicated constant current/voltage again as the unit sources and measures and adjusts to what you need.
I would recommend using a dedicated electronic load unit capable of performing what you need, as these units are designed specifically for this application. See link below for an example unit that we at Keithley offer:

RE: Connection Keithley power supply 2260B-800-1 to a PC via GPIB using the TEK-USB-488 GPIB to USB

RE: GPIB-to-USB connection of Keithley 2260B-800-1 via TEK-USB-488 GPIB to USB adapter
I'm sorry about that. That product is no longer supported. The adaptors we can provide support with are our KUSB adaptors and a select few NI adaptors.
I would recommend using LAN or USB for your communication protocols. This will also negate any issues encountered while using adaptors of any kind.
