How do I use other programs?

Reference
Basic source-measure examples using LabVIEW and Visual Basic are shown below. See also
Section 3 for more examples to load and run scripts.

Using LabVIEW

The source-measure example using LabVIEW is shown in
1. Reset instrument.
2. Select source voltage function.
3. Set source output voltage.
4. Turn on output.
5. Take current measurement.
6. Reset instrument.
The command sequence for this source-measure example is shown below:
localnode.prompts = 0
reset()
smua.source.func = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS --
smua.source.levelv = volts
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
print(smua.measure.i())
reset()
The commands above are sent out in LabVIEW using either GPIB or VIS VIs. Refer to the
LabVIEW documentation for information on using VIs.
