How do I use other programs?
Reference Refer to the LabVIEW and Visual Basic documentation for details
on using those programs.
Basic source-measure examples using LabVIEW and Visual Basic are shown
below. Refer also to also Section 3 for more examples of how to load and
run scripts.
Using LabVIEW
The source-measure example using LabVIEW is shown in Figure 2-7 . The test
steps are:
1. Reset instrument.
2. Select source voltage function.
3. Set source output voltage.
4. Turn on output.
5. Take current measurement.
6. Reset instrument.
The command sequence for this source-measure example is shown below:
localnode.prompts = 0
--Disable prompts.
reset()
--Reset Series 2600.
smua.source.func =
smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
--Select voltage source function.
smua.source.levelv = volts
--Set voltage source level.
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
--Turn on source output.
print(smua.measurei())
--Take and return current reading.
reset()
--Reset Series 2600.
