System configuration with external instruments
User modules are used to access these communication interfaces and control external equipment.
User modules are stored in user libraries, which are created and maintained with the Keithley User
Library Tool (KULT). For information about creating and maintaining user libraries refer to the
Reference Manual, Advanced KULT features, page 8-39.
To execute a KULT user module in Keithley Interactive Test Environment (KITE) create a KITE
user test module (UTM) and connect it to the user module. Once this user module is connected to
the UTM, the following occurs each time KITE executes the UTM:
• KITE dynamically loads the user module and the appropriate user library.
• KITE passes the user-module parameters stored in the UTM to the user module.
• Data generated by the user module is returned to the UTM for interactive analysis.
