Matrixulib user library
The Matrixulib connects instrument terminals to output pins using a Keithley Instruments Series
700 Switching System. It is for use with switching systems that are configured as a general purpose,
low current, or ultra-low current matrix.

OpenAll
Controls if the switch matrix is cleared before making any new connections:
▪ Clear all previous connections: 1
▪ Leave previous connections intact: 0

TermIdStr3
TermIdStr4
TermIdStr5
TermIdStr6
TermIdStr7

KCon; valid inputs (configuration dependent) are: SMUn, CMTRn, CMTRnL, PGUn,
GPIn, GPInL, GNDU (where n is a number from 1 through 8)
Pin1
Pin2
Pin3
Pin4
Pin5
Pin6

attached; if a number less than 1 is specified, no connection is made; valid inputs:
−1 to 72
Details
This user module allows you to control a switch matrix. The default input parameters are shown in the
following figure. Typically, OpenAll (line 1) is set to 1 to initially open all connections. If set to 0, the
present connections are not affected.
