Factory scripts
Introduction
The Keithley Instruments Model 2657A High Power System SourceMeter
®
instrument is shipped with
one or more factory scripts saved in its flash firmware memory. A factory script is made up of a
number of functions. Some of them can be called from the front-panel LOAD TEST menu. All of them
can be called using remote programming.
As Keithley Instruments develops additional factory scripts, they will be made available on the
) as a flash firmware upgrade for the Model
(on page A-4) for instructions on upgrading the flash firmware of
your Model 2657A instrument.
A factory script is similar to a user script, except a factory script is created by Keithley Instruments at
the factory and is permanently stored in nonvolatile memory. The differences between a user script
and a factory script include the following:
•
A factory script cannot be deleted from nonvolatile memory.
•
The script listing for a factory script can be retrieved and modified, but it will then be treated as a
user script. A user script cannot be saved as a factory script.
•
Factory scripts are not stored in global variables. The only references to factory scripts are in the
script.factory.scripts
attribute.
•
The
script.factory.catalog()
function returns an iterator that can be used in a
for
loop
to iterate over all the factory scripts.
Example
To retrieve the catalog listing for factory scripts, send:
for name in script.factory.catalog() do print(name) end
Running a factory script
Use either of the following commands to run a factory script:
script.factory.scripts.
name
()
script.factory.scripts.
name
.run()
Where:
name
is the name of the factory script.
Example:
Run the factory script named “KIPulse”
script.factory.scripts.KIPulse()
