Can't find any programmer documentation for driver KE2700

[gauki]

Hello

I'm quite new to this world and I've known about NI, Labview, LabWindows, Keithley... for only 3 weeks now.

I'm currently reading code from an old project (2009 to 2015 approximately) using the KE2700 driver to configure Keithley equipments. The code is using functions such as KE2700_InitWithOptions, KE2700_ConfigureMeasurement, KE2700_ConfigureApertureTimeInfo, KE2700_SetAttributeViInt32 and many others.

I have an (obviously) unreadable .lib file and a .h file where those functions are referenced. I'd like to know what they do more precisely and I can't seem to find any programmer documentation online describing these functions.

To the people who know the NI environment, do you know where to find this kind of documentation ? And to those who have already developed using the KE2700 driver, where did you learn to use its functions ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Keithley is nowadays part of Tektronix.

Driver: https://www.tek.com/en/support/software/driver/2700-software-4

Manuals: https://download.tek.com/manual/2700-900-01K_Feb_2016.pdf

The remote control programming is throughout that manual:

Remote programming information is integrated with front panel operation throughout this manual. Programming commands are listed in tables, and additional information that pertains exclusively to remote operation is provided after each table. The tables may reference you to other sections of this manual.

Thank you for your answer but I think I have already found this manual and it doesn't have what I need. What I'm looking for is a documentation that contains precisely functions with the "ke2700_" prefix.

I wondered if it was from some custom libraries made for the project but I don't think so since someone else 20 years ago asked a related question in this post, and also wondering at that time how to find the information he was given by another kind user, and he also got an answer for that but if I try to do what he said I still don't find what I want.

I think I will try asking Tektronix and/or their forums.

It's typical instrument driver naming. And the IVI driver I linked to from the Tektronix site is probably more or less exactly this. There is a chance that the original driver was not an IVI driver but just a classical instrument driver. If so it doesn't seem to be from NI, the only driver they have for this device is a LabVIEW style instrument driver.

So it may have been from Keithley and if they created a "better" IVI style driver since, they may have simply taken down that old download (or it was lost during the move from Keithley to Tektronix). Download the IVI driver and take a look at it. It most likely contains very similar sounding if not exactly the same functions.
