Keithley 2100 temperature

[Top24]

Hi, I Have a keithley 2100 6 1/2 Digit Multimeter and I need to mesure temperature with it but I don't know how to do that, I could only found how to mesure DCV ACV resistence etc but I didn't found a way to put my PT-100 alpha beta and delta configurations for my pt-100 and to read temperatures.

A little help please? 

thanks

What have you tried so far??

Do you have the LabVIEW drivers for this instrument, if not, then find it here.

You might also want to share your code..!!

I have a code downloaded from keithley website only I'll send you.

I'm using the code in: Keithley 2100 Series/Exemples/Keithley 2100 Series Read Single

In that code in function diode I changed to TEMP and the multimeter has changed correctly now I need to configure it

There is a configuration VI: '..\Keithley 2100 Series - lv2012\Public\Configure\Configure Temperature.vi' which allows to set Alpha, Beta & Delta constants.

Make sure after downloading the drivers you keep it in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\instr.lib' folder as shown below...

Thanks, that helped a LOT!!! THANKS!!!

Onle last question what should I call in my VI in order to get the temperature read by the multimeter? that vi you said configures the temperature but where can I READ the temperature and use it? THANKS!!

Hi, for most of the drivers, there has to be a VI Tree...!!

For Keithley 2100: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\instr.lib\Keithley 2100 Series\Public\VI Tree.vi

This VI lists all exposed (public) functions of the library (well I can't see 'Configure Temperature.vi' under configuration)...

You should be using one of the Data functions.

Thanks a lot!

You are the best.

Thanks again problem solved

One last question, I can't call these VI's in MY project 😕 how can I do that I was tryingo to initialize then to configure temperature then aquire single data but it is not working 😕
