Keithley 2700 MultiMeter/Switch System

class pymeasure.instruments.keithley.Keithley2700(adapter, **kwargs)

Bases: Instrument, KeithleyBuffer

Represents the Keithely 2700 Multimeter/Switch System and provides a high-level interface for interacting with the instrument.

keithley = Keithley2700("GPIB::1")
beep(frequency, duration)

Sounds a system beep.

Parameters:
  • frequency – A frequency in Hz between 65 Hz and 2 MHz

  • duration – A time in seconds between 0 and 7.9 seconds

property buffer_data

Returns a numpy array of values from the buffer.

property buffer_points

An integer property that controls the number of buffer points. This does not represent actual points in the buffer, but the configuration value instead.

channels_from_rows_columns(rows, columns, slot=None)

Determine the channel numbers between column(s) and row(s) of the 7709 connection matrix. Returns a list of channel numbers. Only one of the parameters ‘rows’ or ‘columns’ can be “all”

Parameters:
  • rows – row number or list of numbers; can also be “all”

  • columns – column number or list of numbers; can also be “all”

  • slot – slot number (1 or 2) of the 7709 card to be used

check_errors()

Logs any system errors reported by the instrument.

close_rows_to_columns(rows, columns, slot=None)

Closes (connects) the channels between column(s) and row(s) of the 7709 connection matrix. Only one of the parameters ‘rows’ or ‘columns’ can be “all”

Parameters:
  • rows – row number or list of numbers; can also be “all”

  • columns – column number or list of numbers; can also be “all”

  • slot – slot number (1 or 2) of the 7709 card to be used

property closed_channels

Parameter that controls the opened and closed channels. All mentioned channels are closed, other channels will be opened.

config_buffer(points=64, delay=0)

Configures the measurement buffer for a number of points, to be taken with a specified delay.

Parameters:
  • points – The number of points in the buffer.

  • delay – The delay time in seconds.

determine_valid_channels()

Determine what cards are installed into the Keithley 2700 and from that determine what channels are valid.

disable_buffer()

Disables the connection between measurements and the buffer, but does not abort the measurement process.

display_closed_channels()

Show the presently closed channels on the display of the Keithley 2700.

property display_text

A string property that controls the text shown on the display of the Keithley 2700. Text can be up to 12 ASCII characters and must be enabled to show.

property error

Returns a tuple of an error code and message from a single error.

get_state_of_channels(channels)

Get the open or closed state of the specified channels

Parameters:

channels – a list of channel numbers, or single channel number

property id

Requests and returns the identification of the instrument.

is_buffer_full()

Returns True if the buffer is full of measurements.

open_all_channels()

Open all channels of the Keithley 2700.

property open_channels

A parameter that opens the specified list of channels. Can only be set.

open_rows_to_columns(rows, columns, slot=None)

Opens (disconnects) the channels between column(s) and row(s) of the 7709 connection matrix. Only one of the parameters ‘rows’ or ‘columns’ can be “all”

Parameters:
  • rows – row number or list of numbers; can also be “all”

  • columns – column number or list of numbers; can also be “all”

  • slot – slot number (1 or 2) of the 7709 card to be used

property options

Property that lists the installed cards in the Keithley 2700. Returns a dict with the integer card numbers on the position.

reset()

Resets the instrument and clears the queue.

reset_buffer()

Resets the buffer.

shutdown()

Brings the instrument to a safe and stable state

start_buffer()

Starts the buffer.

stop_buffer()

Aborts the buffering measurement, by stopping the measurement arming and triggering sequence. If possible, a Selected Device Clear (SDC) is used.

property text_enabled

A boolean property that controls whether a text message can be shown on the display of the Keithley 2700.

triad(base_frequency, duration)

Sounds a musical triad using the system beep.

Parameters:
  • base_frequency – A frequency in Hz between 65 Hz and 1.3 MHz

  • duration – A time in seconds between 0 and 7.9 seconds

wait_for_buffer(should_stop=<function KeithleyBuffer.<lambda>>, timeout=60, interval=0.1)

Blocks the program, waiting for a full buffer. This function returns early if the should_stop function returns True or the timeout is reached before the buffer is full.

Parameters:
  • should_stop – A function that returns True when this function should return early

  • timeout – A time in seconds after which this function should return early

  • interval – A time in seconds for how often to check if the buffer is full
