Flexible System

Integration and

Programming

To offer users maximum programming

flexibility and simplify configuring

multi-instrument test systems,

the DMM7510 includes Keithley’s

system and SCPI programming

mode. The embedded scripting

capability allows running powerful

test scripts directly on the instrument,

without the need for an external PC

controller. These test scripts are

complete test programs based on an

easy-to-use yet highly efficient and

compact scripting language, Lua

(www.lua.org). Scripts are a collection

of instrument control commands

and/or program statements.

Program statements control script

execution and provide facilities such

as variables, functions, branching,

and loop control. This allows you

to create powerful measurement

applications with significantly reduced

development times. Test scripts can

contain any sequence of routines

that are executable by conventional

programming languages (including

decision-making algorithms), so

the instrument can manage every

facet of the test without the need to

communicate with a PC for decision-

making. This eliminates delays due

to GPIB, Ethernet or USB traffic

congestion and greatly improves

overall test times.

TSP technology also offers

“mainframe-less channel expansion.”

bus and a 100 Base T Ethernet cable

allow connecting multiple DMM7510s

with other TSP-enabled instruments

in a master-slave configuration so they

operate as a single integrated system.

These instruments include the 2450

SMU instruments, Series 2600B

SourceMeter SMU instruments, and the Series 3700A Switch/Multimeter

systems. TSP-Link supports up to 32 units per GPIB or IP address, so it’s easy

to scale a system to fit the requirements of an application.

A standard SCPI programming mode supports taking advantage of all of

the DMM7510’s new features when programming remotely. In addition, the

instrument is code-compatible with the SCPI language, which many other DMMs

use. This code compatibility avoids the need to rewrite code that is normally

associated with upgrading to a new instrument with new capabilities.

Free Instrument Control Startup Software

Keithley’s KickStart instrument control startup software lets you begin taking measurements

in minutes.

KickStart combines a wide range of functions to enhance

testing productivity:

• Instrument-specific UI panel

• Manual instrument configuration

• Basic reading display and tabular viewing of data

• Datalogging

• Native X-Y data graphing

• Panning and zooming

• Basic statistics (native to instrument, mX+b)

• Saving/exporting data

• Connect using any remote interface (GPIB, USB, LAN)

• Saving instrument setups

• Screenshot capture

• Command line dialog box
