How to create and add a new device
To create a new device, you must create three files:
• The Keithley device (.
kdv
) file.
• The small bitmap; 16 x 16 dpi (.
bmp
) file for the project navigator device icon.
• The large bitmap; 120x100 dpi (.
bmp
) file for the ITM definition tab device graphic.
The .
kdv
file can be modified using text editing software, such as Microsoft
®
Notepad
®
. The .
bmp
files can be modified using bitmap editing software, such as Microsoft
®
Paint
®
.
The following procedure illustrates how to add a new device, named
new-mosfet
, to the
default Device Library:
1. In the
C:\S4200\kiuser\Devices\MOSFET
directory, locate the following three files,
which define the existing library device called 3terminal-n-fet:
•
3terminal-n-fet.kdv
.
•
3terminal-n-fet.bmp
for the project navigator device icon.
•
3terminal-n-fet-big.bmp
for the ITM definition tab device graphic.
2. Copy
3terminal-n-fet.bmp
to a new file called
new-mosfet.bmp.
3. If required, modify
new-mosfet.bmp
using Microsoft
®
Paint
®
.
4. Copy
3terminal-n-fet-big.bmp
file to a new file called
new-mosfet-big.bmp.
5. If required, modify the new bitmap using Microsoft
®
Paint
®
.
6. Copy the
3terminal-n-fet.kdv
file to a new file called
new-mosfet.kdv.
7. Edit the
new-mosfet.kdv
file with Notepad® by replacing all occurrences of
“
3terminal-n-fet
” with “
new-mosfet
”.
The edited
new-mosfet.kdv
file should appear as shown in Figure 2-18 . All six lines are
