Section 13: Test Script Builder (TSB) Series 2600A System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
Installing the Test Script Builder software
To install the TSB software, close all programs, place the CD (Keithley Instruments part number:
KTS-850) into your CD-ROM drive and follow the on-screen instructions. If your web browser does
not start automatically and display a screen with software installation links, open the index.html file
found on the CD using your web browser.
System connections
To connect the Series 2600A to the LAN, GPIB, or RS232 connection, see Section 15,
Communications Interfaces.
Using Test Script Builder
Test Script Builder is a supplied software tool that can be used to perform the following operations:
• Send ICL commands and TSL statements
• Receive responses (data) to commands and scripts
• Run factory scripts
• Create and run user scripts
Figure 13-1 shows an example of the Test Script Builder. As shown, the Workspace is divided into
three window panes:
Project Navigator
The window pane on the left side of the Workspace is where the Project Navigator resides. The
navigator consists of created project folders and the script files (.tsp) created for each project.
Each project folder can have one or more script files.
The navigator shown in Figure 13-1 has two projects; one named “BeeperTest” and one named
“SourceMeasure.” As shown, the “BeeperTest” project has one script file, and the
“SourceMeasure” project has three script files.
Script Editor
The script chunk is written and/or modified in the Script Editor. Notice that there is a tab available
for each opened script file. A script project is then downloaded to the SourceMeter where it can be
run.
Programming Interaction
Up to seven tabs can be displayed in the lower window pane of the Workspace to provide
programming interaction between the Test Script Builder and the SourceMeter. The Instrument
Console (shown open in
Figure 13-1) is used to send commands to the connected SourceMeter.
Retrieved data (for example, readings) from commands and scripts appear in the Instrument
Console. See
Programming interaction tabs later in Section 2 for details on using the other tabs.
