Groups - Keithley 4200-SCS Reference Manual

Section 8: Keithley User Library Tool (KULT)

Groups

The maximum number of parameters in a group is ten (10). Limit the number of parameters in a
group so that it displays completely (group boxes do not have scroll bars). Generally, it is better to
reduce the number of displayed parameters so all groups can be expanded at the same time.
When creating a user UTM GUI, keep the following items in mind:
• A UTM GUI view definition must have at least one group.
• Each group must have a unique name.
• Note that the "All tab" displays a special type of group; this group is not displayed on the
UTM GUI view.
• For a test parameter to appear in the GUI view, it must be in a group (this is set in the UTM
Parameter GUI Configuration dialog box).
• Display only the important or commonly changed parameters; a GUI with fewer parameters
is easier to understand and use than one with too many parameters.
All parameters for a test do not have to be placed in a group; only place those parameters that you
want to display to the user. For instance, for the majority of tests, the size values of the output
arrays can be left at the default values and do not have to be displayed.
four size parameters (size_V_Meas, size_I_Meas, size_T_Stamp, size_Status in rows 22
to 25) do not have a Group and will not be shown in the GUI view. Other parameters may also be
left out of the view, depending on the typical use of the user module. The unassigned parameters
will not be shown in the GUI view but are still available and active. Use the Classic view
8-54) to view or adjust parameters that are not in the GUI view.
