Comprehensive Built-in Connectivity
Rear panel access to rear-input mass termination connector, remote control
interfaces (GPIB, USB 2.0, and LXI/Ethernet), D-sub 9-pin digital I/O port
(for internal/external trigger signals and handler control), instrument inter-
lock control, and TSP-Link® jacks make it simple to configure multiple
instrument test solutions and eliminate the need to invest in additional
adapter accessories.

Model 2460 rear panel connections are optimized to maintain signal
integrity and speed system setup.
Convert Raw Data to Information
A full graphical plotting window converts raw data and displays it imme-
diately as useful information, such as semiconductor I-V curves and
voltammograms. Using the Model 2460’s Sheet view, test data can also be
displayed in tabular form. The instrument supports exporting data to a
spreadsheet for further analysis, dramatically improving productivity for
research, benchtop testing, device qualification, and debugging.
TriggerFlow
®
Building Blocks for
Instrument Control and Execution
The Model 2460 incorporates Keithley’s TriggerFlow triggering system,
which provides user control over instrument execution. TriggerFlow dia-
grams are created in much the same way that flow charts are developed,
using four fundamental building block types:
• Wait – Waits for an event to occur before the flow continues
• Branch – Branches when a condition has been satisfied
• Action – Initiates an action in the instrument, for example, measure,
source, delay, set digital I/O, etc.
• Notify – Notifies other equipment that an event has occurred
A TriggerFlow model using a combination of these building blocks can be
created from the front panel or by sending remote commands. With the
TriggerFlow system, users can build triggering models from very simple to
complex with up to 255 block levels. The Model 2460 also includes basic
triggering functions, including immediate, timer, and manual triggering.
Built-in data display, charting, and spread-
sheet export functions simplify converting
test results into useful information.
TriggerFlow building blocks allow creating triggering models that
range from very simple to highly complex.
