set source voltage output

[bski77]

Not an issue. But, a rtestbench newbie question.....
I have installed rtestbench & it is working with my B2987A.
I looked through the repo & can not figure out how to set the source voltage output.
I was wanting to set the source voltage output to 600V turn on the source voltage & then take a temp reading.
It should be pretty simple, though I'm having a ton of trouble setting the source voltage & turning it on......
Thanks & Best Regards

Hi. Sorry for the delay, I am on holiday.

You can find the constants to set up the source voltage output in https://github.com/Arkh42/rtestbench/blob/master/rtestbench/tools/keysight/electrometer/b298x.py.
Some of the function you are looking for are already part of the rtestbench package. Have a look at:

• enable_output_source() and disable_output_source(),
• set_output_source_off_condition(),
• set_output_source_low_state().

When I developed the package, I didn't need the output source voltage. So apart from the configuration functions, I did not develop the control functions.
What you can do is one of the following solution:

1. fork, create the functions, then make a pull request;
2. directly use the generic send(), query() and query_data() funtions from the Tool class in your script and pass the SCPI commands that you can find in the programming manual provided by Keysight.

Thanks for the reply. I believe I will create the new functions to fit my needs & then make a pull request.
I've been busy working with a digitizer card & creating a routine for averaging 300 samples to establish effective mobility.
I will return to this project in the next week.

Thanks & Best Regards
