• RE: 2600-PCT-2B Parametric Curve Tracer SPECIFICATION

    The 2600-PCT-2B contains two SourceMeter models:  2651A and 2636B.  Many (not all) of the specs you seek will be in the datasheet for the individual SMUs.  I encourage you to contact your closest sales office and discuss your application and concerns.

  • RE: Reading and printing DMM buffer using Python 3.11.3

    In general, when the command you send ends with the question mark (a query type command), you should immediately follow with a read to pull the response to the query command off the output queue.<br> <br> You are sending more than one command in a row.&#160; The first time you read, you will get the response from the first query command, not from the most recent.<br> <br> I'll attach a screen image of your code and the outputs but using a read after each query command.

    Are you moving the scope card between the two systems?&#160; Or do they both have a scope card and just the one running KITE 9.1 is not working?<br> <br> If you are attempting to move the card between the two systems, it will not work.&#160; The expected cards of the configuration is not designed to be modified in the field.&#160; So if the KITE 9.1 system never had a scope card, it will not be accepted by the KCON config.<br> <br> Please clarify.

  • 4200A-CVIV Outputs always open

    In Clarius software, be sure to make use of an Action to route the SMU or CVU to the output.<br> Execute the Action before you attempt to perform the SMU or CVU measurement.<br> In the Select ribbon, search for a project using &quot;CVIV&quot; as the search term.<br> Those projects will include the Action steps for configuring the CVIV prior to a measurement.
