Keithley 2612: Error code -286 cannot modify read only table

[happydave]

Hi,

I am trying to make a synchronous sweep of voltage (analog signal from a force meter) and electrical resistance of the DUT on the Keithley 2612 Source Meter, which has 2 SMUs.

Thus:

Channel A: measure V

Channel B: measure R

I downloaded Keithley's Labview driver LabVIEW Instrument Driver version 2.1.2 for the Keithley Series 2600 and 2600A and Keithley I/O Layer version B07 (125 MB), but using those VI's I got the same error. Additionally I could not find an existing example program that would do the trick. I also tried the TSP software, but somehow cannot communicate with the instrument.

Actually the ultimate goal would to have a continuous scanning whereas the values that are read out from the buffer are displayed on a chart. How would that work? Since I have a limited buffer in the Keithley I would need to do some kind of binning? Any hints on how to do that will be appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

thank you for your post to our forum!

Did the mentioned TSP Software come with your Source Meter?

If so, check the connection between your Source Meter an your PC, please.

As the TSP Software can't connect as well, there could be a faulty connection.

Hi David,

could you establish a connection to your Source Meter in the meantime?

Hi Peter,

I managed to connect the TSB  with the Keithley and run the script, after I got rid of the comments.

Almost everything is working now as it should.

Thanks,

David
