Changes the measurement settings for the DMM7510. Requires a CONNECT_DMM7510 block to create the connection. Params: connection : VisaConnection The VISA address (requires the CONNECTION_DMM7510 block). autorange : bool, default=True, Use auto range? meas_range : float, default=1, The range to measure with (i.e. the maximum). autozero : bool, default=True, Use auto zero? count : int, default=1, The number of counts to average. NPLC : float, default=1, The integration rate in number of clocks. Returns: out : String Measurement settings

In this example, a DC voltage measurement was extracted from a Keithley DMM7510.

First the necessary blocks were added:

  • CONNECT_DMM7510
  • RESET_DMM7510
  • FUNCTION_DMM7510
  • DIGITS_DMM7510
  • MEASUREMENT_PARAMS_DMM7510
  • MEASUREMENT_FILTER_DMM7510
  • READ_DMM7510
  • BIG_NUMBER

The instrument address was set for each DMM7510 block. The FUNCTION_DMM7510 block was changed in order to extract the correct measurement. The parameters in DIGITS_DMM7510, MEASUREMENT_PARAMS_DMM7510, and MEASUREMENT_FILTER_DMM7510 blocks were changed as necessary. The READ_DMM7510 block was connected to the BIG_NUMBER block in order to view the reading.

The blocks were connected as shown and the app was run.
