Switch matrix control
You can use the
connect
action in the
ivcvswitch
project to control switching. You can also use
the
ConnectPins
user module in the
Matrixulib
user library.
The
connect
action uses the
ConnectPins
user module to control a switch matrix. You specify the
instrument terminal and pin pairs. For example, for the row-column connection scheme shown in the
figure below, you set the parameters:
•
TermIDStr2
to
SMU2
and
Pin2
to
6
, which connects SMU2 to pin 6.
•
TermIDStr8
to
GNDU
and
Pin8
to
3
, which connects GNDU (ground unit) to pin 3.
A matrix control example using the
ConnectPins
user module is provided in
(on page A-30). Detailed information for
ConnectPins
is provided in
(on page 6-314).
