Customize tests
There are two types of tests in Clarius:
•
Interactive Test Modules (ITM):
Predefined tests that you can select and configure through the
Clarius interface. They are used exclusively for parametric testing. You can create blank ITMs in
Clarius that you can customize.
•
User Test Module (UTM):
A test that is based on a user module. Once the user module is
incorporated into a test or action in Clarius, you can select and configure it in the Clarius
interface. In addition to controlling tests, UTMs can control internal instrumentation or external
instrumentation that is connected through the GPIB bus or RS-232 port. They can also be used
for other tasks in the project, such as displaying prompts for test operators.
User modules are created in Keithley User Library Tool (KULT). Clarius
+
comes with many predefined
user modules, organized into user libraries. Refer to
(on page 6-305) for
descriptions of the pre-built user libraries and modules.
You can also use KULT to create your own user modules or modify the source code for a module
supplied by Keithley Instruments. Refer to
(on page 8-1) for detail.
Both ITMs and UTMs share common data analysis functions, such as the Analyze spreadsheet and
graph.
You can customize tests in the following ways:
•
Start with a predefined test and modify it.
•
Start with a blank ITM test and modify it.
•
Start with a blank UTM test, define the user module, and modify it.
After modifying a test, you can save it to the test library as a predefined test that can be used in other
projects.
Modify a predefined test
You can modify an existing test that you added using the steps in
Add a device and test to the project
(on page 6-11).
Settings that you make to a test that is in the project tree are stored with the project. If you need to
return to the settings of the test that is in the library, you can add the test from the library again.
