2400 Keithley Delta Mode example?

Is there any example labview program for initializing and configuring the 2400 Keithley for Delta Mode measurement? 

 

I have the 2400 bipolar current sourcemeter and the 2182A voltmeter. I want to write a working labview project to initialize and configure both instruments for a series of infinite (>1000) delta voltage measurements. The 2182 has examples that cover delta mode but I have not been able to find an example for 2400.

A better option would be to reach out to Keithley support for an example implementation. Even if they could not provide a LabVIEW example, if they could provide an SCPI command example, you can implement it in LabVIEW directly or finding equivalent APIs.

I wrote a LabView program using the given 2400 Keithley VIs to configure 2400 sourcemeter for delta measurement.  

 

The program is supposed to configure the 2400 in the exact settings that this tutorial mentions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm2Xjx_aISY

 

However, given my code, I cannot get the sourcemeter to switch/alternate bw + and - 1 mA. When I run this program, my sourcemeter turns ON for 20 s and outputs +1mA for entire duration before switching off. My guess is that I am missing some of the settings required, but I can't figure out how to define the missing commands. 

 

 

All the settings I need (from the youtube Delta Mode tutorial for the 2400) are written in the labview project as a comment para.
