Getting milliseconds precision from Keithley GPIB

[Aristofel]

Hello,

I used one of the VI's that I found in the forum for Keithley6517A.

The GPIB string that I get from 'GPIB read' is in the format of:  -0.023230E+00VDC,01:10:59.00,19-Sep-2014,+37266rdng#

There are few measurements of voltage or current within a second but the seconds in the string increase by 1, and the milliseconds always appear as zero.

I would like to get the milliseconds, it must be something simple that I'm missing...

Appreciate your help,

which VI are you using? I'm personally not familiar with the Keithley 6517A. Does it have millisecond precision for the readings you are trying to get? I would think that there is some configuration setting or command that gets those milliseconds.

Why do you think that ms are measured at all

[Aristofel]

why shouldnt they?

I tried to send APERture...

Are you saying that you've read the manual or asked Keithley about the internal timestamp? Why would you think the aperture command would affect the result display? I don't see how your question is related to LabVIEW or NI hardware.
