Example 3
shows you how to use the TSP-Link interface and interactive triggering with Series 2600A
and Model 707B or 708B instruments. This example:
•
Can be run using TSB Embedded.
•
Demonstrates how to create, load, and execute a TSP script that includes functions.
•
Demonstrates how to use the functions in the script to run the test.
•
Demonstrates the benefit of using TSP scripts to run the test independently of computer control after
initiating a test to run.
•
Uses the TSP-Link interface for communication and interactive hardware triggering.
•
Does not use the scanning and triggering model of the Model 707B or 708B.
Example 4
shows you how to use the scanning and triggering model of the Model 707B or 708B with
the SourceMeter instrument. This example:
•
Can be run using TSB Embedded.
•
Demonstrates how to create, load, and execute a TSP script that includes functions, and how to use
those functions to run the test.
•
Demonstrates the benefit of using TSP scripts to run the test independently of computer control after
initiating a test to run.
•
Uses the TSP-Link interface for communication and interactive hardware triggering.
•
Demonstrates how to use the scanning and triggering model to achieve hardware synchronization
during a test.
•
Illustrates the speed advantage of preconfiguring the sequence of crosspoints used during the test.
•
Includes instructions on how to create a scan list, how to execute a foreground scan, how to configure
the trigger model to automatically wait for and assert trigger signals.
Equipment required to run the examples
To run this test, you will need the following equipment:
•
Six diodes with triaxial connections
•
One Model 707B or 708B
•
One switch matrix card (Model 7174A, 7072, or 7072-HV). You can also use the Model 7173-50 if you
convert the connection to coaxial instead of triaxial.
•
One Model 2635A SourceMeter Instrument or equivalent source measurement unit (SMU). You can use
the Models 2601A and 2611A SourceMeter instruments if an adaptation is made from the screw
terminals on the instrument to the triaxial connections on the switch card.
Connect the equipment
The communication setup and hardware changes for each of the examples and is described at the
beginning of each example. However, all of the examples use the same test equipment setup, as
shown in the following figure.
This figure shows connections to the Model 7072 8x12 Switch Card. However, you can make similar
connections to the other switch cards listed for this example.
