Not sure if this a bug, or intentional?

Thanks.
That is a bug, it looks like I fill the combobox twice, without clearing it in between. It will not harm anything and it will be fixed in next release.

Thank you, thought it was just me going mad in lockdown

HKj,

How would I write the below readmath expression.

Code: [Select]

#scpiCmd C1:RDO? txrx? RMO
#if value>10000
:readmath: double(value-4294967296)/1000
#else
:readmath: double(value)/1000

HKJ,

Thanks, I also figured it out using the  below code, i know it has unnecessary () but it worked

Code: [Select]

:readmath: ((value>10000)?"double(value-4294967296)/1000":"double(value)/1000")
Below is what I am going to use, it is much cleaner

Code: [Select]

:readmath: double(value>10000?value-4294967296:value)/1000

I am a bit surprised it worked, due to the quotes.

A few comments:
Try to support the #verifyDevice command, it will prevent selecting the wrong device.
Handles are best without a - in the name, because they are used as variables names also. The easiest way is to drop the "-20M" etc. from the handle.

Changes made, added #verifyDevice and removed -xx from handles.

I look at bit on the datasheets for them and it looks like the 6900 series has slightly higher output voltage.

V 0.69 is up.

This includes FeelElec, Riden, Siglent from MikeLud
The calculator have got two more formats to select (Integer & String).
The first user documentation page is ready, it is for the Commands page. Pressing F1 on the command page will load a browser with it. There is also a link from the intro page to it.

If more explanation is needed for some parts of the page, please ask (It is not supposed to cover scripting or calculator stuff).

Device file for Sorenson/Ametek XG 850 family of 850 W power supplies.  There is also the nearly identical XG 1500 series 1500 W supplies.  Each of these series have 12 different Voltage, Amperage combinations.  So, if the device file supported all 24 variations via #metadef it would add 24 entries to the selections drop down.  24 entries would just make that list a bunch longer and tedious to scroll through.  So, I made a device file for the one version I have, included info in the file on the others, and via #metadef supported just one other so that another user would have an example to follow if they had one of the others in this series.

Ametek XG 600-1.4 and family device file attached for anyone to use.

There is no reason to worry about a long list in the combobox, just use the filter function to limit it.

The Keysight 34465A is capable of measuring its internal temperature through
SYST:TEMP? which works nicely on the command line. Since Keysight344xxA.txt has become quite complex, I do not feel up to the task of modifying it without messing something else up. 
Maybe you or someone else would like to include the internal temperature sensor some day.

It could be shown in the setup menu, but it would not be a good idea to include it in the logging.

If you want to experiment, try defining the datatype of on/off columns as:
digital(on)

I.e.
#value Main_On - digital(on)
#value Aux_On - digital(on)

Note: I have not tested that the parsing works.

It works in a way, but adding this line will improve it significantly:
:readmath: formatDouble(value,1,3,1,1)

Without that it do do something like: 3.234E+1

I will include it.

Delighted  System temp now works. Very useful.

[Neomys Sapiens]

It really looks like a fine piece of SW, but that is all it does for me right now...

I have tried to get to terms with the explanations provided, but couldn't.
If I wanted to write such a driver file for a non-SCPI multimeter and taking your 'skeleton file' for start, does this mean that I would have to find, edit and insert all the SCPI commands from some roughly comparable meter first? And then add the 'translation sequences'?
But lacking a SCPI compatible multimeter, this is a bit of a tedious exercise. Can someone point me to a good description of the SCPI command applicable to a DMM? If I select one at random, I might well end up with a manual which is making a positive outcome even less probable.

Basically, I would like to get my Schlumberger 7151 running with it, using a RS-232 connection.

[HKJ]

They way to do it is to make some SCPI equivalent command for your meters commands. Then you define the different functions with these commands.
The only example for non-SCPI at the current time is FeelElecFY6x00-xxM
For a bench DMM start by looking at KeithleyDMM6500 when you have something similar to that working, you can look at Keysight/Siglent definitions, they have a much more advanced configuration.
