KEITHLEY 2460 SWEEP MEASUREMENTS

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi Team,

I am trying to get sweep measurement with Keithley 2460 source meter, with the help of instr. driver 2450 example. But it's not working!

so I just slightly modified the code, but it didn't work!.

I want to measure current with the source of voltage based on ON and OFF light.

I attached the sample code with this, can anyone please lookout this and let me what is the problem in the code.

please do the need full.

Thanks in advance

The Keithley 2460 instrument has multiple programming languages.  Check which one is active with your system.  It appears that you want it in SCPI mode when running those VI's.

 

Check by performing the following:

1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under System, select Settings.

Hi,

Yes, I checked, it's running in SCPI mode.

I doubted whether I made the wrong block diagram.

please do the needful.

Hi

Did you run the vi in debug mode following what was going on and eventually what the error is.

At first sight this looks ok, although several cases that are not needed. 

But I don't have a 2460 or alternative available to test this.

It looks to me like the code works just fine, but the graph isn't properly setup.

 

In the default example the graph has 2 y-axis, one for current one for voltage and they are very different scales.

 

In the attached modified code the graph has 1 y-axis for both current in the uA range and voltage from 0-1V.  But the data table clearly shows it is measuring.

 

I think the OP just needs to fix the plotting and its all good on the instrument side.

Thank you for your valid reply.

Yes, I run the code in debug mode, and the code works fine.

sorry for the delayed response.
