using keithley 24xx

Solved!
Go to solution

I am controlling a keithley 2400 source Meter. By using the keithley 24xx software.

 

under examples I selected

Keithely 24xx ReadMultiple.vi

 

When I source 0.0000007 A

the program sources 0.000001

 

I located the problem in the configure output.vi

(see attachment)

 

As you can see by sourcing 7E-7 A the program writes 0.000001A to the Source Meter.

 

How can I change the output string to 7E-7.

 

Thank you

Change the constant string in input to the vi "Format value" (the vi where "Output value" is wired) from "%s;:" to "%g;:".

This should work
