The RS-232 settings can be changed from the communications menu. To access
the menu, press the MENU key, select COMMUNICATIONS, and then select
RS-232.
The RS-232 settings are stored in non-volatile memory. The settings will not
change when power is cycled or a reset command (
reset or *RST) is sent.
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 2-5 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 2-5 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 2-5) is used to send
commands to the connected SourceMeter. Retrieved data (e.g., 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.
