kepco bop 20-5d-4882

Hi,

I am trying to interface and control a kepco bop 20-5d-4882 power supply via the PC. Anyone has any pre-written VI module for labview 7.1 for this purpose? Thanks.

Have you tried either of the drivers that you cad download from the Instrument Driver Network? There's an IVI driver and a LabVIEW driver.

Ok thanks~!

Hi guys,

I am trying to create a voltage sweep at a rate of 1kHz. But in the constant-voltage mode, I am writing voltage values way too slowly to the Kepco power supply module to be sweeping at that fast a rate. Does anyone have any ideas how I can create a high frequency sweep? Thanks!

I'm not very familiar with the Kepco supplies but the max update rate should be available in the instrument manual. It's possible that the instrument cannot support that rate. I also looked at the driver and the command that is being sent includes settings for current. Check the programming manual to see whether it's possible to just send a voltage update.
