Keithley 2600 and labview

[dan612]

hello mates,

i need your help urgantly

i need to write a program with labview to use channel A output voltage as an input for channel B

your help is really appreciated.

Hello Dan,

          I recommend that you take a look at the LabVIEW Instrument Driver's on Keithley's website: http://www.keithley.com/support/keidoc_searchresult?keyword=2600&item_type=Software+Driver

Cheers,

I also have the same problem... I downloaded the drivers and I couldn't programme for different SMUs... can anybody help please...

it's programmed as any other device, but using code written in a scripting language called Lua (www.lua.org). See Reference Manual.

For example:

   smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF             -- tune off
    smua.source.func = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS         -- set voltage out
    smua.sense = smua.SENSE_REMOTE                      -- 4-wire sence
    smua.source.rangev = 6                                           -- Output range
    smua.source.levelv = 2                                      -- output voltage
    smua.source.limiti = 1                                         -- compliance 1A
    smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON            -- tune on

    smub.source.output = smub.OUTPUT_OFF             -- tune off
    smub.source.func = smub.OUTPUT_DCAMPS         -- set current out
    smub.sense = smub.SENSE_REMOTE                      -- 4-wire sence
    smub.source.rangei = 1E-6                                           -- Output range
    smub.source.leveli = 0                                      -- output current(no load)
    smub.source.limitv = 6                                         -- compliance 1A
    smub.source.output = smub.OUTPUT_ON            -- tune on

    print(smub.measure.v())                                                         -- measuring input voltage

Thank you DenisKM... I will work it out...
