Communications – When Test Script Builder opens, communications to the SourceMeter will be
closed. With communications closed, commands cannot be sent to the SourceMeter. A script can
be written using the Test Script Builder, but it cannot be run. Communications with the
SourceMeter are established by “
Opening communications.”
Opening communications
In order to activate communications between Test Script Builder and the SourceMeter, an
instrument must be opened. The toolbar on the Instrument Console tab is used to open or close
communications.
Figure 2-6 illustrates how to open and close communications. The following details supplement the
information in the drawing:
The Select Instrument window has a drop-down menu to select the GPIB or RS-232 interface
being used by the Series 2600.
Simulate communications - If you select the Simulate option in the Select Instrument window, the
Instrument Console will become active even though there will be no actual communication with the
SourceMeter. You can simulate running a script or sending a command, but the SourceMeter will
not respond.
NOTE The drop-down menu for the Menu icon can also be used to open or
close communications between TSB and the SourceMeter. See
“
Instrument Console icons” later in this section for details on using
the Menu icon.
