I want capture whole pulse using smu 2634b

Hello,

I am currently working with the SMU2634B in LabVIEW to measure pulse signals, and I would like to capture the voltage values over time. Specifically, I need help with the following:

1. How can I set up the SMU2634B to measure a pulse signal effectively in LabVIEW?

2.Once the pulse signal is measured, how can I plot a voltage vs. time graph for the captured data?

3. How can I capture the time duration of the pulse and synchronize it with the voltage readings to plot the graph accurately?

#1 is not specific to LabVIEW, it should be generalized as how to set up the SMU to measure pulse signal programmatically.

Best place to start is SMU's SCPI commands to see if there is command where it can capture several measurement samples in memory synchronous to the sourcing operation, then once the capture is complete, how to transfer those samples over the comm. port or is there a way of streaming the samples without impacting the capture process.

Hi,

 

The Keithley source meters use a scripting language called TSP (Test Script Protocol). You should download the user manual from the Tektonix website. There are several examples in the manual.

You can also install the TSP IDE to write/test scripts. 

 

You can also download the instrument driver here
