The password lock feature on Series 2600A is similar to the lock feature on your PC.
To enable the password feature, type the following from the command line:
localnode.password
NOTE You must enable passwords to use this feature.
To lock the instrument when you are away from the testing area, type the following command:
password
The remote interface locks. The Series 2600A does not respond to commands issued from the
command line until you unlock the interface. This reserves the instrument and protects the test
script running on the instrument.
Unlocking the remote interface
If the remote interface is locked, you must enter the password before the Series 2600A responds
to any command issued over a remote interface.
NOTE The password for the example below is Keithley.
To unlock the remote interface, type the following command
password Keithley
The Series 2600A unlocks and communicates with any remote interface.

password feature, the Series 2600A stores this password until the LAN configuration is reset or
you reset the password.

•
From the front panel, press
MENU
>
RESET-PASSWORD

NOTE If you reset the LAN settings, you must re-enable the password
feature.
