Section 13: Factory Scripts Series 2600 System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
KIPulse
The KIPulse factory script is made up of the functions listed below. These functions can only be
accessed from the remote interface and cannot be accessed from the front panel. The primary
purpose of this factory script is to provide high-speed, high-power pulse functions. Pulses up to
10A and 200W (not available in the Models 2635/2636) can be generated using the functions in
this library. For optimal pulse performance, the front display should be in the user screen mode.
This will prevent display updates from interfering with pulse testing. Do this by sending the
following command:
display.screen = display.USER
NOTE This factory script only operates on the SourceMeter channels
present in the SourceMeter executing the pulse functions. These
functions will not operate correctly if the user attempts to access
SourceMeter channels on the TSP Link.

The “Config” functions are used to configure a pulse train and assign the configuration to the tag
parameter. The “Initiate” functions are used to execute the pulse train(s) assigned to its tag
argument(s). The conditions listed in the table below must be true for these functions to execute
successfully.
