3-12 Test Script Processor Interaction Series 2600 System SourceMeters User’s Manual
2600S-900-01 Rev. A / May 2006 Return to In this section:
Running the user script
Reference Refer to “User scripts” in Section 2 of the Series 2600 Reference
Manual for details on running a user script.
Remote programming
The functions for the KIGeneralUser user script can be called after the script is run
as follows:
KIGeneralUser()
After the above command is executed, any of the functions that make up the user
script can be called in the same manner that factory script functions are called
(refer to “
Step 1: Call the function”).
Front panel operation
To run the script from the front panel, a test name has to be added to the USER
TESTS submenu of the LOAD TEST menu. Since the KIGeneralUser script is
made up of eight functions, a front panel user test must run the script and also call
a function. The following command will add the test name “PulseVMeasI” to the
menu. It will also configure the test to run the
KIGeneralUser script and call the
PulseVMeasureI function:
display.loadmenu.add("PulseVMeasI", "KIGeneralUser()
PulseVMeasureI()", display.SAVE)
Since no parameters are used in the function (PulseVMeasureI()), the test will
be interactive and require the operator to input the test parameters using the front
panel controls. Refer to “
How do I run a script from the front panel?” described on
earlier in this section for details on running a user script from the front panel.
The command display.loadmenu.add can be used to configure front panel
user tests for the other functions of the script. Make sure to use a different menu
name for each function. For example, the following command will add the name
“PulseIMeasV” for a test to call the
PulseIMeasureV function.
display.loadmenu.add("PulseIMeasV", "KIGeneralUser()
PulseIMeasureV()", display.SAVE)
Reference Refer to “Load test menu” in Section 14 of the Series 2600 Refer-
ence Manual for details on the
display.loadmenu.add function.
