Keithley 2701 Scanner

[jeff_scharpf]

This is my first experiment using Labview 8 and third party hardware (Keithley 2701 with a 7703 32-channel scanner card).

I'm hoping someone can help me with a small VI example or some advice.

I have all the updated drivers from Keithley, I'm trying to set up and scan 32 DC voltage channels. No matter which drivers/functions I choose from the pallette, I can't seem to scan more than one channel. If I pass a channel list, it gives me an error 221 (settings conflict).

I realize that this is not NI hardware, but Keithley doesn't seem helpful at all. And their documentation isn't the best.

If I could see either a simple example showing which functions need to be called and the parameters, it would be great.

I also have an Agilent 6050 load which has labview drivers. I have no problems with this hardware.

Any ideas before I contact Keithley again?

I used this instrument at my previous job with two of the plug-in modules. Using LabVIEW 6.1 at the time. Didn't have any trouble with it.

I'd suggest sending commands using MAX to make you understand how the instrument and commands work.

Ok thanks I got it working.

It was just the order of operatoins. 🙂
