The selector is what determines the column definition currently (unless there isn't a selector defined). With a selector defined, the column definition is dependent on the Unit / Mode selector. For example, If I have 3 options chosen for measurements, those 3 options are what gets logged. If I select 3 different options, then those 3 wouldn't have matching columns anyway if I try to load data from a CSV.

When loading CSV files it will match on all columns, not only enabled columns, it will even match on disabled equipment (That is second scan).

I tested it and it works, but now I have to add it to each of the other 7 channels.

When loading CSV files it will match on all columns, not only enabled columns, it will even match on disabled equipment (That is second scan).

So, if the variables are defined, why couldn't it still do that with variable column names?

Thanks,

Here's an example if why I would prefer the variable column names. With a variable column name, I could do each option as I posted previously with a simple variable read added to the 7 column names. Without variable column names, each of 8 measurement channels will require the following (and eventually more when additional options like dBm are added):

That was a long definition.

Because the variable is not defined when TC loads a CSV file.

Because the variable is not defined when TC loads a CSV file.

[HKJ]

I've an UT-71B and used an USB-UART (with FTC232R chip) and made
connection as seen in the picture to make an Serial unit from an HID (UT-D040) Unit.
Ground is pin 8 and pin 3 is transmit on the CH9325 chip.
I didn't connect to pin 8, normal ground
is the same. In my case I left the original cable
as it was, so it works both, COM and HID.

Nice, it looks like there is some electronic to handle the communication leds, I wonder how much is necessary.

Anyway I have ordered a UT61E+ on Aliexpress and will see if I can get the library to work with it.

[HKJ]

Because the variable is not defined when TC loads a CSV file.

 

It will never be, loading a CSV file can be independent of loaded definitions. It has to work that way.
TC has a fallback solution: No unit and two decimal places, but I prefer to avoid that when possible.

[KungFuJosh]

loading a CSV file can be independent of loaded definitions. It has to work that way.

Of course! But a CSV file could have that information defined within it. For example, if the variable column name is defined as a static column name in the CSV file, then there's no issue, is there?

I've already done the work, so it doesn't matter right now, but it seems like it would be a more efficient way to handle this sort of thing in the future. If definitions could have a single #value line for each channel/unit with a variable selector and variable column name, that could simplify the coding and increase efficiency.

My driver file is now over 5400 lines and 147KB, and having nearly 1/3 of that 147KB specific to switching column names is crazy.

Josh

Not a simple CSV file, it must support comments for that and I have no idea how many applications can handle that.
And what about TAB file, TC support them equally with CSV files.

You could sort of optimize this type of statments;
elseif (type=="VPARea")
    var meas1Unit="VPARea1";

with listIndex() and getElement(), but because you have more in a lot of the if statements and already made it, it is probably not wort it.

[HKJ]

Here's an example if why I would prefer the variable column names. With a variable column name, I could do each option as I posted previously with a simple variable read added to the 7 column names. Without variable column names, each of 8 measurement channels will require the following (and eventually more when additional options like dBm are added):

Set variables changes (140 lines):

Code: [Select]

if (type=="VMIN")
    if (unit1result=="V")
    var meas1Unit="VMIN-V1";
    elseif (unit1result=="A")
    var meas1Unit="VMIN-A1";
endif
elseif (type=="VMAX")
    if (unit1result=="V")
    var meas1Unit="VMAX-V1";
    elseif (unit1result=="A")
    var meas1Unit="VMAX-A1";
endif


I noticed you have a var declaration in each if:
var meas1Unit="VMAX-A1";

Why not declare it before the if and then just assign in the if:
var meas1Unit;
if (type=="VMIN")
    if (unit1result=="V") meas1Unit="VMIN-V1";
    elseif (unit1result=="A") meas1Unit="VMIN-A1";
    endif

It gives slightly faster execution.

[KungFuJosh]

Maybe, I was a little lazy automating the replacement, but it was all more efficient like this when I had it combined:

Code: [Select]

           type=="VPPArea" || type=="VNPArea" || type=="VAPArea" || type=="VNAPArea")

elseif (type=="None")

I don't know how much more efficient that would be anyway, whether it's two elseifs or a sub if statement.

Fewer elements will make it execute faster.
The script language uses a tokennizer and then feed the tokens directly into a execution engine, i.e. each element takes some time to parse and then to execute. I can store the tokens and later feed them into the execution engine, it will about double the speed, but each element must still be processed and makes error messages crap.

That's the part I don't understand regarding the difference in execution time. The net difference is one less var and one extra meas1Unit. I'll take your word for it that one way is faster than the other for a single choice like that.

That's the part I don't understand regarding the difference in execution time. The net difference is one less var and one extra meas1Unit. I'll take your word for it that one way is faster than the other for a single choice like that.

It is not way faster, but I expect it is faster.
The tokennizer will turn something like:
 var meas1Unit="VMIN-V1";
into:
  symbol symbol assign string
Most with parameters and note that it has to do that for all the if statements all the way down each time.
By getting rid of the var there is one element less.
The execution unit has to process all tokens, it can deal with the ignored part of the if statement fairly fast, but it has to do some  minimal processing on each.

Hello, I've asked the question already in an other thread, but I found this one could also fit well to it.

When I fetch binary data (SREAL) from my Keithley 2001, It is sent without the header (#0), which is described in the manual (and which is sent by my other Keithley devices).

I've found someone, who reports on two meters with the same behavior:
https://forums.ni.com/t5/Instrument-Control-GPIB-Serial/Keithley-2001-ieee754-format-readings-are-missing-quot-0-quot/td-p/302680

I first thought my firmware might be so old and the header might have been added at a later time, but even if i look into the oldest 2001 manuals, which I could find in the web (Revision B from 1992), the '#0' header is mentioned. Do you receive the '#0' header with your 2001s and which firmware are you running? Here are the SCPI-commands required to get the infos:

Code: [Select]

*IDN?
FORMAT SRE
FETCH?
Fist two letters in the fetch-answer should be the header. The answer to the *IDN? contains the firmware version.

Is this behavior known and if yes, for every version of the 2001? If they differ, how do you handle the variants?

...

You're only sort of in the wrong thread to ask that. AFAIK there's currently only a driver for the K2000, not the K2001. You could probably adapt the driver from the K2000 to the K2001, but that would require a little work on your part (but not a lot considering the driver file size).

I don't know the direct answer to your question, but I do know TestController can filter the *IDN? and other responses to make them functionally useful in TestController for logging and remote control. Outside of TestController, it's probably not really relevant.

Thanks,
Josh

[w.v.s.]

Thank you for the answer! I thought all Keithley 20xx were supported, since they are quite common and for basic functionality you can do a lot of re-use.

[KungFuJosh]

Thank you for the answer! I thought all Keithley 20xx were supported, since they are quite common and for basic functionality you can do a lot of re-use.

In theory, maybe. But every single device has a *IDN? response. Every *IDN? response needs to be defined for TC to recognize a device with its specific *IDN. Sometimes, that *IDN? response needs to be edited to be useful (you can see examples of this if you download TC and peruse the device definition driver files).

Typically, it's something like:
Manufacturer,Model,Serial,Firmware

All TC needs is:
Manufacturer,Model,

This is an example from the driver I'm currently working in:
#idString Batronix,Magnova,
#name Batronix Magnova
#handle Magnova

You can edit the K2000 file with the correct info from your K2001, and save it as a new file to test it out. It gets a little trickier if there are multiple versions of a device, then you need to learn about #meta and #metadef and replacetext and stuff to coordinate that. So, make your own file just for the K2001 and keep it simple to start with.

Thanks,
Josh

ETA/PS. If you have two devices with the same *IDN? response, but one has a weird prefix, you can edit out the prefix so they'd be functionally the same.

I changed it to this, and it works:

If you want to know how fast it executes, place this line at the start:
var startTime=seconds();

And this line at the end:
printLog("Time used "+(1000*(seconds()-startTime))+" ms");


On my computer first run is about 4.3ms and subsequent runs are about 1.2ms (I matched at a entry near the bottom, to get as many comparisons as possible).



Note: The function seconds() uses the Java function nanoTime, that has the best resolution possible on the actual computer.

Between those changes for 8 channels and a couple other changes I made, the file went from 149K to 144K. I was thinking too small when I thought it wouldn't be that much of a difference.

Thanks,
Josh

[w.v.s.]

did it really shrink?

[KungFuJosh]

[HKJ]

Between those changes for 8 channels and a couple other changes I made, the file went from 149K to 144K. I was thinking too small when I thought it wouldn't be that much of a difference.

You could shrink it more and also make it faster, by defining the code as a function (That would  tokennize the code, thus make it faster) and use the same function for all channels (Use parameters to send the parameters to it and assign the return value from the function to the correct channel).

That would add a bit of string manipulation, but nothing fancy: measUnit="VSDeviation-V"+channelNo;

I have never tried to use functions in TC, but I expect it will work (The script/programming is general code I also use for other projects).

[KungFuJosh]

It's not a bad idea, but probably not worth the time it would take to update it. It's already very fast, and there's a little more to each of the commands. Maybe if I want to procrastinate something else I'll spend the time.
