initialize.vi for Keithley - GPIB

[pogor]

Hello,

I ask you a problem I have with initialization.

I have a LabView program able to control 2 Keithley 2400 (I am not the author of it).

Looking at the block diagram I have seen that the file initialize.vi, that initialize the 2 Keithley, addressed with the number 24 and 25 (see the file in attachment).

Now I have not 2 Keithley 2400, but one Keithley 2400 and one Keithley model 236.

The question is: do I have to change all the commands inside the initialize.vi program? this is not trivial for me, because the 2400 and 236 have different sintax...or can I found elsewhere the initialize program for 236?

Thank  you.P

There are drivers for the 2400 and 236.

If, for some reason you decide to keep using this driver, you should add error handling and possiblye even convert to VISA.

I would use the two driver programs linked, and convert them into one program.  This is standard practice for using multiple instruments to gather data.  Have one "mini-program" for each device and then use labview to do whatever you want with their output.

I use several products from KE24xx family: drivers linked by DK are stable and reliable: better use them IMHO
