RE: Keithley 2400 communication

[<nick.rees@diamond.ac.uk>]

Hi,

 

You need to use some existing Keithley 2400 device support (there is asyn support at  http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/download/modules/keithley2400-1.1.tar.gz or I can send you the Diamond version based on StreamDevice – I have attached the protocol file as a starter).

 

You then either use your choice of programming method (typically a sequence record or a SNL program) to chain all the commands together.

 

Cheers,
