Introduction
The Keithley Linear Parametric Test Library (LPTLib) is a high-speed data acquisition and instrument
control software library. It is the programmer's lowest level of command interface to the system's
instrumentation. Its subroutines let you configure the relay matrix and instrumentation to perform
parametric tests.
This manual lists the commands included in the Keithley LPTLib and describes how to use them. The
descriptions follow this general pattern:
•
A statement of the purpose of each command.
•
The syntax of command usage.
•
Additional details about the command and its placement and relationship to other commands in a
test sequence (as applicable).
•
Examples showing a typical use of the command in a test sequence, where appropriate.
•
References to other related commands.
Conventions used in this manual
Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used when explaining the commands:
•
All LPTLib commands are case-sensitive and must be entered as lower case when writing
programs.
•
Parameters that are user-supplied are shown in
monospace italic
font.
•
A capital letter
X
shown in a command name indicates that you must select from a list of
replacement suffixes. Using the example
force
X
command, the
X
can be replaced with either a
v
for voltage or
i
for current.
