Add Actions - Keithley 4200A-SCS Reference Manual

Model 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer Reference Manual
To insert linked tests:
1. Add a test to the project tree (refer to
Create a custom test
2. Right-click the test and select Linked Copy.
3. Select an item in the project tree that you want the test to follow. The item is highlighted in green
if this is a valid place to copy the test. It is red if you cannot copy the test to this location.
4. Select Paste. The linked test is added to the project tree.
You can create multiple linked copies of tests by using Linked Copy at the device or subsite level. In
this case, all ITMs associated with the device are copied with the new device and become linked
copies of the tests in the original device. UTMs are copied as independent tests or actions. Note that
the devices and subsites do not become linked copies, only the ITMs.

Add actions

Actions allow you to move probers, add user notifications such as beepers and dialog boxes, and
change switching options. You can add existing actions or create actions based on user modules.
When you create an action, you select a user module from a user library to create the action. Clarius
supplies user libraries, or you can create your own using KULT.
If you are moving from 4200 KITE to 4200A Clarius, actions replace initialization and termination
steps. Actions are more versatile than initialization and termination steps. You can place them in the
project wherever they are needed instead of being limited to the top and bottom of the project.
To add an action to the project tree, drag it into the tree where the action needs to occur during the
test. For example, if you need to sound a beep after a specific test, drag the Beeper action to the
project tree under that test.
To create an action:
1. Choose Select.
2. Select the Actions tab.
3. Drag Custom Action to the project tree. The action has a red triangle next to it to indicate that it
is not configured.
4. Select Rename.
5. Enter a name for the action.
6. Select Configure.
7. In the Test Settings pane, select the user library.
8. Select the user module.
9. Set other settings as needed. Refer to the Help pane for information.
