Electrometer Issues

[ingeniera32]

Hello,

I am new to LabVIEW! I am trying to configure a Keithley 6514 electrometer just to make a simple current measurment. I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong. The equipment gives me an error when I run the program sometimes and sometimes it does not.....I cannot get the measurement though. I am also working with a function generator which is why it is in the same project file, that one is all set. I just need to get the electrometer now. I followed the equipment's quick results guide and followed the amps measurement procedure...which is why I am using zero checks/zero correct. Any ideas will be extremely helpful, just need some guiadence. Please help! Thanks!

The vi you included is lacking almost all the required sub-vi's. All that is attached is for an HP33120, not a project or any of the Keithley files.

You seem to be using two different Agilent 33xxx drivers. You should stick with one driver. I don't know if this is causing your problem, but it's probably not a good idea. You did not indicate what error you are getting, so we can't help you there. Unless you tell us what it is.

Looking at your code it seems as if it was written by two different persons. In the top part the sequence frame is completely unnecessary since the error clusters dictate execution order. This is how the bottom part is done. The front panel is an absolute mess. There is no dependency between the top part and the bottom part. Thus, they will run concurrently. This means you could be asking for a measurement before there's actually anything to measure.

I wrote both of them.

I did mention that I am using two pieces of equipment, one being the function generator which is in the sequenece above and the electrometer. I figured it out anyways. Thanks.
