Changing voltage compliance with LabVIEW in Kiethley 2410

[cstorey]

I haven't test it but this should do the trick.  I'm using the Keithley 24xx driver I mentioned earlier.  I looked at some of your subvis and have concerns with how the handle things.  Let me know how this works for you.

Thanks. But this is not opening since I have Labview 2012. Check the error message.

Hi Sindhur ("Brian from HP"),

you should not post your NI license number in public forums…

Why don't you tell us before you are limited to LV2012? (Similar to like I do in my signature.)

Try this version, backsaved to 2011.

thank you. But this is giving too many error messages now. I think its better to add voltage compliance to the VI which I sent.

What errors?  A hint of what they are and we can probably clear them up quickly.

So, you installed the Keithley 24xx driver- http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=25B255F3AA83660EE0440003BA7CCD...

Then when you opened the VI I attached you were prompted to locate the driver VIs on your machine.  After that it should work. 

Oh, I notice that I did make one mistake - I forgot to wire the number of points to multiple point sweep vi.  So as it is it will only measure 1 point.  But other than that I would bet this works. 😉 

Other possible error might be the Save as Previous version caused an error, but that's less likely.

That said, your Keithley 2410 firmware might be an issue and I'd upgrade to the most recent your hardware will support.  Latest Firmware - https://www.tek.com/source-measure-units/2400-software/2400-firmware-release-package-version-c34

Run the code in debug mode and report the errors.  If I get time I'll run it on my 24xx..

Yeah, it works for me just fine.  Here's the updated version with the sweep points fixed.
