Installing the TSB add-in
When you install the Test Script Builder Software Suite, all available updates for TSB Add-in software
are also installed. This includes any additional tools for the Test Script Builder Integrated
Development Environment (TSB), and also Model 2657A-specific examples and help files (see
(on page 6-29)). In addition to the software suite, a separate add-in is
provided on the product specific CD. You can use this add-in to update previous TSB software
installations.
Before installing the TSB Add-in software, you must install the TSB software.
To install the TSB Add-in software:
1. Close all programs.
2. Place the Series 2650A Product Information CD (Keithley Instruments part number 2650AS-950-
01) into your CD-ROM drive.
3. Double-click the Add-in to start installation.
4. 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
) located on the CD-ROM to start installation.
Using Test Script Builder (TSB)
Keithley Instruments Test Script Builder (TSB) is a software tool that simplifies building test scripts.
You can use TSB to perform the following operations:
•
Send remote commands and Lua statements
•
Receive responses (data) from commands and scripts
•
Upgrade instrument firmware
•
Create, manage, and run user scripts
•
Debug scripts
•
Import factory scripts to view or edit and convert to user scripts
The Keithley Instruments Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) scripting engine is a Lua interpreter. In TSP-
enabled instruments, the Lua programming language has been extended with Keithley-specific
instrument control commands. For more information about using the Lua scripting language with
Keithley TSP-enabled instruments, refer to the
Fundamentals of programming for TSP
section.
Keithley has created a collection of remote commands specifically for use with Keithley TSP-enabled
instruments; for detailed information about those commands, refer to the "Command reference"
section of the documentation for your specific instrument. You can build scripts from a combination of
these commands and Lua programming statements. Scripts that you create are referred to as "user
scripts." Also, some TSP-enabled instruments come with a number of built-in factory scripts.
