Measuring Current and Voltage on Agilent B1505A

[_natalie_]

Hi All,

I am learning to program the Agilent b1505A using LabView.  I just want to start with a simple measurement of sourcing a voltage and reading/measuring both the voltage and the current.  

I have been able to parse the data and apply the voltage without and problem.  However, I can not figure out how to make it record both voltage and current.  I can only get it to record one or the other.  

I am not sure how familiar everyone is with the Agilent Flex Commands.  When looking through the manual, I see that there is a CMM command which sets the SMU measurement operation mode.  I set it to mode 4 which measures both, but it still isn't working.

Is anyone familiar at all with using LabView to program Agilent parameter analyzers?

I have included my code and the Agilent Flex Command manual.

Thanks.

I think I found my problem!

It is in the FMT command which specifies the data output format.  

Thanks.

It was a problem with the FMT command which specifies the data output format. 

Found my problem, thanks!

podrias aydarme con la conexion externa de los SMU? en tu programa veo que usas el canal 101 pero no logro identificar donde va la otra punta, muchas gracias de ante mano

Hi,Could you please show your optimized code?
