Plotting whilst linear Current- Sweep with Keithley 2420

I downloaded the Labview Basic Linear Staircase Sweep Example from the Keithley webpage for the 2420 Keithley. I would like to synchronize the 2420 with other instruments. I just want to plot and save any current value after any current step and not to get the whole sweep at the end. In that way, I would like to plot the current value and a voltage measured with other instrument. From the Basic Linear Staircase Sweep Example (attached), I'm not able to plot the current point after any single step. I would appreciate any help!!!

 

Thanks in adavnce!

Hi

 

The best way to do this is to program each step as a dc value, read out all your other instruments and do the next step.

So not using the staircase at all.
