******************************************************************* *** *** *** Laser Diode L-I-V Sweep Test Demo *** *** *** ******************************************************************* Version 1.0.0.0 (A01) This demo is intended to be an example of how to use a Keithley 2420 and two channels of the keithley 2500 to perform an L-I-V sweep test on a laser diode module. In order to use this example with Keithley SourceMeter Instruments other than the 2420, the user may need to change the voltage range to correspond with the ranges of their particular model of SourceMeter. A Trigger Link Cable (part number 8501-1) is required to be connected between the 2500 and the SourceMeter for this example to work correctly. Keithley 2510 TEC SourceMeter is required for the Temperature control. Modifications to this program may be required to attain the required kink detection sensitivity. In order for this example to work, the VXIPnP drivers for each instrument must be downloaded and installed on his\her machine. Since these VXIPnP drivers use VISA for instrument communication, Keithley or NI GPIB cards are equally suitable.
