RE: External trigger of Keithley 2182A
Check out the User Manual on Trigger Link.
Also section on stepping and scanning for an idea of how to handshake with external current source. -
RE: 2636B can't write test data to computer file
When running this Lua code on the 2636B, the only file system available is the USB drive on front panel. You need to insert a FAT32 formatted USB drive into the port.
I think instead you are wanting to put the information to the HDD of the computer, right? -
RE: unable to view front panel
In your document, it looks like two different tests were defined.
The 2604B contains two SMU. You just need some sweeps.
Take a look at KickStart IVC if you don’t want to write code.
Or get our free Test Script Builder or TSP Toolkit.
There are samples with TSB.
Test Script Builder
With these you can execute sweeps and copy/paste data to Excel.

RE: [KXIC] Get error message from KXCI
An update: with version 1.13 of Clarius software for the 4200A-SCS, there are now KXCI commands for error retrieval and error clear.
Visit tek.com and download and apply updated Clarius for 4200A-SCS.

RE: How to get multiple values using Python and TSP
The printbuffer() can take multiple buffer elements:
printbuffer(index1, index2, defbuffer1.readings, defbuffer1.relativetimestamps)
This well result in comma delimited reading, time, reading, time, etc according to the index values.
The receiving code will need to parse it. -
RE: Low current measurement with Keithley 6485
If the ohms of the sample are very large, the RC time constants can be surprisingly long. Minutes or hours is not out of question.
In these cases, it might be sufficient to define a procedure where you take the measurement after XX time of electrification. Such a consistent method would allow comparison of sample A to sample B, etc.
Unrelated: you may want to consider some shielding for the setup. With connections in open air, results are susceptible to EMI and charged particles from air. Simply walking past the setup can be reflected on the picoammeter.

RE: picoammeter 6485 firmware update problem
In the *idn? response, after the serial number is what we want.
Your unit has C01 firmware. You are at the latest for your unit.
Only units using a Bxx level are compatible with the B04 version from Tek.com. -
RE: Who can provide a sample script of DMM6500 digitize voltage measurement for pulse signal?
Check out the sample posted on our github for the DMM7510.
The code for control of digitizer will be essentially same for DMM7510 and DMM6500.
Sample Code - look at DigitizeV samples
Just the spec of the A/D on the DMM7510 is better:
18-bit vs. 16-bit
hardware comparator-based triggers vs. firmware detect
able to AC couple to the signal -
RE: unable to view front panel
Hello,
TSP Express has been retired and is no longer present in the current firmware release for the 2600B series.
If your present firmware is version 3.x.x something, I'd advise you to install new firmware. Version 3.4.2 is most current for units presently at any other 3.x level.
Firmware for 2600B Series
The older apps were built on java (Sun/Oracle) and very difficult to make work with any modern browser.
The latest firmware does still offer virtual front panel application, flash upgrade and TSB Embedded (terminal application).
If looking for an application similar to TSP Express for IV curves, take a look at the KickStart IVC (costed) application or check out our github for sample code. -
RE: Difference in UTM time output data Clarius vs. KXCI, decimal place missing
In version 1.13 of our Clarius software, KXCI API is enhanced for the PMU and accessing the SegArb mode directly without UL and EX to KULT code.
Numerous examples have been posted to our github site:
