Keithley Pulse Application
Keithley Pulse Application (KPulse) is a non-programming alternative that you can use to configure
and control the installed Keithley pulse cards. You can use it for quick tests that require minimal
interaction with other 4200A-SCS test resources.
The KPulse application supports the source-only configuration of 4225-PMU and 4220-PGU
2-channel pulse cards. The 4225-PMU is identified as PMU on the card tab. All other card types are
identified as VPU.
Starting KPulse
To open KPulse, double-click KPulse on the desktop. The following example shows one PMU
installed in the system.
From the user interface, each pulse generator can be used to configure and control the following
waveform types:
• Standard pulse waveforms (on page 10-4) and Segment Arb waveforms (on page 10-6): Pulses
are configured and run from the VPU or PMU tabs of KPulse. There is a tab for every Keithley
pulse card installed in the 4200A-SCS.
• Custom file arb waveforms (full-arb) (on page 10-9): Pulses are configured and saved as a .kaf
file using the Arb Generator tab of KPulse. You can then use the VPU or PMU tab to load the
saved .kaf file into the pulse generator and run it.
