1 month ago Hi. Certainly that would be doable. Do you have the possibility to try it out yourself? Check out the code and open it with a Python IDE. Pycharm Community should be fine. You might need to install some packages: matplotlib, numpy, pyvisa and si-prefix if i remember correctly. This can be done comfortably within Pycharm.
First thing to edit is in K2450_ArbCurrentSource.py line 38:
if "KEITHLEY" and "2450" in visa_answer:
to your model number
then you should modify these lines according to the specs of your instrument (see datasheet):
line 72: current_source_ranges = [10e-9, 100e-9, 1e-6, 10e-6, 100e-6, 1e-3, 10e-3, 100e-3, 1]
line 73: autodelays = [50e-3, 50e-3, 3e-3, 2e-3, 1e-3, 1e-3, 1e-3, 1e-3, 2e-3]
line 152: current_source_ranges = [10e-9, 100e-9, 1e-6, 10e-6, 100e-6, 1e-3, 10e-3, 100e-3, 1]
line 165: voltage_measure_ranges = [0.02, 0.2, 2, 20, 200]
line 178: protect_levels = [2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180]
Then run K2450_Arb_I_support.py and see if it works.
In fact the code nees a complete refactoring as I'm much wiser now in terms of python programming. I may do this in the next months, but for now try if these modifications will do the trick.

Hi, it would be great if the program could be expanded to the other models of the 2400-series. So that you did not get an error message, when using e.g. the 2461 modell. From the "Keithley" homepage the difference between the two models (or all models of the 2400-series) is just the "max current source" / "max voltage source" and ... of course the price ;) https://www.tek.com/en/products/keithley/source-measure-units/2400-graphical-series-sourcemeter
So all functions and the firmware should be the same.
