• RE: High speed multi channel scans with DAQ 6510 and multiplexer 7700

    Hello,
    You are doing everything right as far as I can tell from what you are doing. ~3ms is the time it takes for the relays on your physical scan card itself to open/close the relays. That, paired with operating overhead such as firmware and other settings will add additional time to the actual time for a scan. The quickest scan possible with the 7700 card is expected to be around that 10ms mark you are hitting. See the video below for a good walkthrough on how to set up your DAQ6510 for the quickest scan possible, as there may be a few tips and tricks you could add in for your setup.

  • RE: 2651A - Reading back listi values

    Hello,
    See page 7-34 in the reference manual attached below as this should give you a good idea on what you are wanting to accomplish.

    Also, I saw you set your source range to 10 but the last value in your lsit is 19. If the lsit does not autorange for you, this may cause some issues as you're attempting to source a value well outside of your set range of 10.
  • RE: DAQ6510 Display when using rear terminals under GPIB control

    Hello Dave,
    Are you operating via front panel or remotely and sending commands? If remote, which command set are you using (TSP or SCPI)?
    If using remote communication, you may need to add some display commands to specify what you want displayed on the front panel during data acquisition.

  • RE: KEITHLEY 2612B Source Meter SCPI Command Setup

    Hello Eniola,
    The 26XX line of SMU's do not take SCPI commands. We utilize a command set known as TSP (test script processor) which operates in a similar way. I'll link the reference manual below, see page 2-51 and on for sweep functions and there are examples provided as you read along. Specifically, see section 9 for all TSP commands.
    Additionally, I would recommend downloading TSB (Test Script Builder) which will allow you to program and run commands remotely. In the navigator pane on the left hand side, you can find examples for a linear IV sweep example which would help you to start building and customizing your setup once you've read the sections I recommended above.

  • RE: Zero check and Zero correct of 6514

    Hello,
    Zero check is a feature that notes the internal voltage offset within the unit. Zero correct allows you to algebraically subtract the internal voltage offset value from your measurement thereby correcting the value of zero within the instrument. Very similar to a REL function, however REL can be used to subtract out ANY level of signal or reading. Zero check/correct is specifically for correcting the value of zero by subtracting internal voltage offsets that would otherwise result in the instrument reading slightly higher than "true" zero.
    Zero Check and Zero correct should both be done prior to making a measurement. Zero check willl be disabled to perform a reading.
    See the manual I'm attaching below for more info. Ref pages 2-13 and on.

  • RE: 2110 DMM Update problem

    Kenneth,
    Did the error first show after trying to update firmware or was this before?
    What version were you on and which version were you upgrading to?
    We have seen some issues when updating from older firmware to newer even though there is no hardware mismatching. I'm afraid this unit may need to be sent in to service for our team to look in to if this error does not go away. I'll attach the service link below just in case:

  • RE: KTH-2651A Minimum Operating Voltage as Load

    Hello,
    1. Minimum operating voltage in 4th Quadrant as sink mode(or load mode)
    We have same voltage accuracy in source and sink as the attached table(see png). We have 5 voltage ranges 100mV to 40V. In the minimum range 100mV, we have 5uV programing resolution but +/-(0.02% of reading + 500uV offset) for uncertainty which means that we can set or program 5uV but actual value sources with +/- 500uV uncertainty. This is voltage source mode case (CV mode).
    The other case is that we can control output voltage level by compliance voltage in the current source mode. In this case, we have 10mV minimum in compliance voltage programing. I would not recommend the second case for accurate voltage sourcing applications.

     
    1. Pulse Condition
    Min/Max pulse width/rise time are very wide ranges depending on DUT impedance, source range and measure range. In the voltage source mode, we have usually about 300us ~ 1ms for pulse width. Please check out the datasheet for every individual case.
     
    1. Output Off mode
    If a DUT is an energy storage device like battery or solar cell, the output off mode must be high-Z mode. The default state of the instrument 2651A is 0V like ground. As soon as lead cables touch the DUT, the instrument should start to discharge the DUT. High-Z mode of output off mode prevents discharging issue in the DUT connection.
