You can connect over LAN or USB.

Over LAN, you can use something like TightVNC to interact with the scope.

Other software approaches:
KickStart scope application
TekScope PC
TekScope Utility (free)
Python drivers

Very nice implementation.  Thanks for sharing!

KickStart does not offer relay control of that nature.  It supports conventional scanning of the two-pole channels on the multiplexer cards.

The internal web page has an application that provides a means to send commands to the instrument over LAN.
Our use our TSP Toolkit from vscode to send commands.

To do what you describe would require connection of the front terminal DMM to the 7702 card input or card sense so that you can measure between the two banks.  When wiring the channels, treat them as single pole and use only the HI or only the LO.
NOTE:  you will also have to manage channel 43 for the card sense to bank 2.

 

Try setting the source level and source limits before turning the output on.

Keep in mind, when using power limit, the current limit in use will be the lower of the limit.i value or the computed value from source v and requested power limit (watts).

If troubles persist, can you tell us more about the DUT error and the only if device disconnected observations.
Is device accepting power from SMU or is SMU sinking power from DUT?

KickStart can only scan the channels.
If ch1 has 5v and gnd1 and ch2 has 5v and 12v and so on.

Otherwise, you’d need some customized approach to try to measure between any two pins.
That is normally done with a matrix rather than multiplexing switch.

You need to assign the range command also to the channel.  Similar to what you did for the measure function.

The data sheet indicates:  
Maximum input: 250 Vpeak DC to 60 Hz sine wave; 10 s per minute at maximum input on mA ranges (one-sixth
duty cycle)

Maximum common mode voltage (DC to 60 Hz sine wave): Electrometer, 500 Vpeak; V-source, 750 Vpeak

You may want to mount some protective diodes.  See attached from our Low Level Measurements Handbook.

Can you let us know which version of KickStart you use?

The SourceMeter does not have slew rate or rise time control.
Instead, it implements a smooth first order response as it transitions to a new source level.
This allows best chance for no overshoots or ringing as it reaches new steady state source levels.
