Series 2600 System SourceMeter

Instruments User’s Manual Section 3: Test Script Processor Interaction

Since no parameters are used in the function (PulseVMeasureI()), the test will be interactive

and require the operator to input the test parameters using the front panel controls. See “

How do I

run a script from the front panel?” on page 3-2 for details on running a user script from the front

panel.

The command display.loadmenu.add can be used to configure front panel user tests for the

other functions of the script. Make sure to use a different menu name for each function. For

example, the following command will add the name “PulseIMeasV” for a test to call the

PulseIMeasureV function.

display.loadmenu.add("PulseIMeasV", "KIGeneralUser() PulseIMeasureV()",

display.SAVE)

Reference See “Load test menu” in Section 14 of the Series 2600 Reference Manual for details

on the

display.loadmenu.add function.

Deleting a user script and user tests

Deleting a user script

A user script can be deleted from non-volatile memory of the Series 2600. The following command

will delete the

KIGeneralUser user script:

script.delete("KIGeneralUser")

Deleting a user test

After deleting a script, you should also delete the test from the USER TESTS menu since it no

longer exists. The following command deletes the “PulseVMeasI” test from the menu:

display.loadmenu.delete("PulseVMeasI")

Reference See “User scripts” in Section 2 of the Series 2600 Reference Manual for more

information on deleting a user script. See “Load test menu” in Section 14 of the

Series 2600 Reference Manual for details on deleting user tests from the front panel

USER TESTS menu.

How do I use other programs?

Reference See the LabVIEW and Visual Basic documentation for details on using those

programs.

Using LabVIEW

Source step example

The source step example is shown in Figure 3-6. The example steps the source voltage from 1V to

10V in 1V steps, measures the current at each step, and stores the result in a table. Once all steps

are completed, the stored table current values are printed.
