Model 6514
System Electrometer
Quick Results Guide
Introduction
This guide is designed to familiarize users with fundamental operation (front panel and
remote) of the Keithley Model 6514 System Electrometer. For comprehensive information
on all aspects of Electrometer operation, refer to the Model 6514 Instruction Manual.
Operation information in this guide is divided into three parts: (1) basic operation,
(2) Settings to optimize performance, and (3) Features to enhance DUT testing.This
format allows a new user to easily progress from basic simple operation to more complex
procedures.
Remote command programming
- For the various Model 6514 operating modes covered
in this guide, the related SCPI commands for remote operation are summarized in tables.
Most commands have a query form. For example, FUNC ‘VOLT’ selects the voltage
measurement function, while :FUNC? requests the present measurement function. Note
that the Model 6514 must be addressed to talk after sending a query command.
For operations where command sequence is important, programming examples are
provided. The exact programming syntax will depend on the test program language.
