keithley 2401, compliance

Hello

I am looking for the option to change the compliance of the Keithley 2401 in labview.

How I can do this?

If you use the driver found here -

 

http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=1583

 

Then when you configure the sense options one of the parameters is to set the compliance.

 

The SCPI command is something like..

 

:SENS:CURR:PROT 10E-3

 

To set a 10mA compliance when sourcing voltage or..

 

:SENS:VOLT:PROT 10

 

To set a 10V compliance when sourcing current.

 

Read the manual to get the limits of the compliance right if you are using a fixed range measurement.

I thank you very much

Unfortunately I did not find driver for the configuration of the sense options.

Can you help me with this?

If you download the driver, look at the VI tree and select the VI "Configure Output.vi" then one of the outputs is the compliance level.
