Using Test Script Builder (TSB)
Installing the TSB software
To install the TSB software:
1. Close all programs.
2. Place the Test Script Builder Software Suite CD (Keithley Instruments part number KTS-850B01
or greater) into your CD-ROM drive.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If your web browser does not start automatically and display a screen with software installation links,
open the installation file (setup.exe) found on the CD to initiate installation.
Project Navigator
The Project Navigator is located on the left side of the workspace. The navigator consists of project
folders and the script files (.tsp) created for each project. Each project folder can have one or more
script files.
Script Editor
The script is written and modified in the Script Editor. Notice that there is a tab available for each
opened script file. A script project is then downloaded to the instrument, where it can be run.
Programming interaction
Up to seven tabs can be displayed in the lower pane of the workspace (the script editor) to provide
programming interaction between the Test Script Builder and the instrument. The instrument console
shown in Using Test Script Builder (TSB) is used to send commands to the connected instrument.
Retrieved data (for example, readings) from commands and scripts appear in the instrument console.
Working with TSB Embedded
TSB Embedded is an alternative to the full version of Test Script Builder (TSB) Suite. The capabilities
of TSB Embedded are very similar to TSB. TSB Embedded includes a command line interface that
you can use to issue instrument commands, create, modify, and save test scripts to the instrument.
For additional information, refer to the Model 2651A User's Manual.
