Advanced Kult Features; Managing User Libraries - Keithley 4200A-SCS Reference Manual

Model 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer Reference Manual

Advanced KULT features

The following text discusses the advanced features of KULT:
•

Managing user libraries

•
Working with interdependent user modules and user libraries
•
Understanding user module locking
•
Debugging user modules using Microsoft
•
Format user module help to display in the Clarius Help pane
You can use the 4200-COMPILER, which is Microsoft
debug KULT modules, including user library and user modules. It allows you to develop test
subroutine libraries using the full capabilities of C-language programming.
If 4200-COMPILER was ordered with your 4200A-SCS system, the software is installed by Keithley
Instruments. You can also purchase the 4200-COMPILER later. Refer to document number
PA-1030, Compiler Installation Instructions, for detail on how to install.
Managing user libraries
This section addresses the following topics:
•
Updating and copying user libraries using KULT command-line utilities
in more detail, two command-line utilities. One utility provides a command-line method to copy
user libraries. The other utility provides an essential means to update user libraries after they are
copied.
•
Performing other KULT tasks using command-line commands
of command-line commands. These commands can be used individually or in a batch file to
perform various KULT tasks without opening the KULT user interface.
Updating and copying user libraries using KULT command-line utilities
This section describes two useful command-line utilities, kultupdate and kultcopy.
Updating user libraries using kultupdate
You must use the kultupdate utility to update user libraries after they have been copied to a new
storage location (that is, to another user directory or drive). User libraries must be updated to ensure
the correctness of all path information, which is built into the library. The kultupdate utility
recompiles each user module in the library and rebuilds the library as well.
Usage
kultupdate <library_name> [options]
