Re: Keithley 2410, current readings

Does anyone know how I can vary measurement speed during output. I am sourcing a fixed current for a constant 5 mins and would like to sample at say 2000 points in the first minute and the last 500 in the final 4 mins.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Would I use two arm counts with different NPLCs?  The problem is I would like to but, would also like the current source to stay on (sourcing current) the whole time.  I don't want to stop the code, turn it off, gather data, and then turn it back on.  However, if necessary I can.  Also for reference I'm using GPIB and LabVIEW to program it.

Hi Aaron,

 

read the data at 2000S/60s ~= 33S/s the whole time.

In the "last 4 mins" you "just" decimate the data to get your desired sample rate of 500S/240s ~= 2S/s…

Best regards,
