Keithley 2410, serial connection, simple current measurement

Hello,

I'm a beginner using Labview (6.1) an the Keithley 2410 sourcemeter. Can anyone give/send me an example vi for my problem?
Problem:
The Keithley is connected via serial bus with the pc. All drivers are installed. I just want to set the source to 3V and acquire the current over an adjustable time (ex. 10min) with an adjustable sampling rate (if it is possible).
The data should be written into a file and I want to see a current-time-graph.

It is difficult to create such a vi?

thanks a lot.

Hanswurst,

have a look at /Help/examples or /Help/FindExamples.
Depending on the kind of driver that you have installed, you may take a look at something like this one: HP34401A App. Example.vi
Basically it configures the measurement, configures the trigger and performs the actual measurement. All you have to add is the filewrite (function File-I/O > Write to spreadsheet file) and a graph (element Graph > waveform graph).
If you are interested in a more online-display, put the actual measurement and the storage&display into a loop.

HTH and
Greetings from Germany!
