Gn: Get Parameter (By Name) - Keithley 4200-SCS Reference Manual

Model 4200-SCS Reference Manual
Also assume the parameter sequence for the VSweep function is as follows:
Vstart (input), Vstop (input), Imeas (output), NumIPoints (input),
Vforce (output), NumVPoints (input)
This example shows how that user function can be run from the KXCI console using parameters
that perform a 11-point sweep starting at 0 V and stopping at 5 V.
With KXCI already in the usrlib mode, the following command will run the user's KULT function:
EX my_2nd_lib VSweep(0, 5, , 11, , 11)
After execution of the module completes, input or output parameters or both can be queried to
return the values. Use
parameters.

GN: get parameter (by name)

The GN command is used to query input or output parameter values or both values by name for
the last user module run in KXCI. The syntax for the command is shown as follows:
GN ParameterName NumValues
ParameterName
NumValues
Programming notes:
NOTE
Example 2
The following command will query all 11 test voltages (Vforce parameter) for the function that was
run in
GN Vforce 11
The following array of test voltages will be returned and displayed in the KXCI console:
0; 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0; 3.5; 4.0; 4.5; 5.0

GN: get parameter (by name)
The name of the parameter in the KULT module.
The number of values in an output array to be returned. See the
programming notes for more information.
• NumValues is only used for an output parameter that is an array.
• If NumValues is not used, one value will be returned.
• Arrays are returned as a list of values separated by semicolons.
• The value returned for an input parameter is the given value. The value(s) returned for an
output parameter is the outcome of the test (for example, measured readings).
A parameter can instead be queried by specifying the corresponding number for the
parameter in the KULT module (see
Example 1:
