Set Up The Low-Resistance Application Using Scpi Commands - Keithley Interactive SourceMeter 2450 User Manual

Section 5: Measuring low-resistance devices

Set up the low-resistance application using SCPI commands

This sequence of SCPI commands makes 100 low-resistance measurements by sourcing current and
measuring resistance. In this example, the source current magnitude and limit voltage are set
automatically. It uses remote commands to change the front-panel display to display the TREND
swipe screen. This allows you to view numeric data at the top of the screen and graphic data at the
bottom of the screen.
You may need to make changes so that this code will run in your programming environment.
Send the following commands for this example application:
