KE2700 Instrument Driver Examples

Model 2700 Multimeter/Switch System User’s Manual 

Introduction

An IVI style Instrument Driver is provided with the Models 2700, 2701, and 2750. The 
driver supports programming in LabView, LabWindows CVI, Visual Basic, and C, 

Test examples provided by the KE2700 Instrument Driver are listed in 

Table H-1

 and 

Table H-2

. Some of the examples demonstrate the simple command sequence examples 

that are used throughout this manual. These examples include a reference to appropriate 
manual section in the "References" column of the tables. 

Visual Basic and CVI (C) examples

Table H-1

 lists the Visual Basic and CVI (C) examples and “Use Cases” that are provided 

with the KE2700 Instrument Driver. By default, Visual Basic examples are installed in 
\Program Files\Keithley Instruments\KE2700\Examples\VB and CVI examples are 
installed in \Program Files\Keithley Instruments\KE2700\Examples\CVI.
