Unable to read Voltage, Resistance, Temperature in a single scan in Keithley DAQ6510

Hi Team,

 

We are trying to read voltage, resistance and temperature which are connected on the separate channels of the Keithley DAQ6510 measurement unit through Labview application. The official driver from Keithley doesn't have option to read multiple function in a single scan. Which means it reads Voltage in all channels, in first scan. Resistance in all channels in second scan and so on. It creates a delay of 1 sec between each scan. It cause of overall delay of 3 sec after 3 scans. 

 

We have a requirement to read voltage, resistance and temperature within 1 sec which is possible if all the functions (voltage, resistance and temperature) are read in a single scan. Please let us know how can we group the channels with different functions in the NI applications to read all the channels in a single scan.

 

Thanks,

Denny

I think it has an option to just spit out data in a stream without requesting it?

The answer to your question lies in whether your instrument "is capable" of such a mixed scan, if yes, please share the commands, we would be glad to help you use those commands in LabVIEW. Beyond that, this question is not "LabVIEW's" capability but rather your instrument's.

Hi Santosh,

 

SCPI commands are available in the below mentioned reference manual page 207, section 6-7. Kindly check and help.

We have verified that Hardware is able to read multiple function in a single scan using the front panel and also using the KickStart software from Tektronix.

 

Thanks,

Denny
