Section 8: Keithley User Library Tool (KULT)

kult bld_lib -l<library_name> [options]

Builds the <library_name> user library in the active user-library directory.

Any of the following may be placed at the [options] position in the command:

-dep <library_dep_1>...[library_dep_6]

Specifies up to six user libraries upon which library_name depends.

Dependent user libraries must be in the active user-library directory. For more information about

dependent libraries, refer to

Hides library_name so that it is not visible in Clarius.

Shows library_name so that it is visible in Clarius.

Working with interdependent user modules and user libraries

KULT allows a user module to call other user modules. A called user module can be in the same user

library as the calling module, or can be in another user library. When the module that you are creating

calls a module in another user library, you must:

1. Select Options > Library Dependencies.

2. Specify each called library from the list that is displayed.

You must select user module and user-library dependencies carefully. Observe the following:

Try to put user modules with interdependencies in the same user library and minimize the number

of interdependencies between libraries. This practice helps to avoid problematic user library

dependency loops (Lib1 relies on Lib2, Lib2 relies on Lib3, Lib3 relies on Lib1).

If a user module in one user library must depend on user modules in other user libraries, take

care when selecting the user libraries to be linked with the user module under development. The

next section provides guidance.

The user libraries to be linked are saved so that future rebuilds do not require the dependencies to

be reselected. This information is stored in the <library_name>_modules.mak file in the

%KI_KULT_PATH%\<library_name>\kitt_obj directory.

Structure dependencies hierarchically to avoid circular dependencies, and then build the

dependent user libraries in the correct order. The next two sections provide guidance.
