Description The Agilent Technologies 14565B Device Characterization Software is an easy- to-use graphical user interface for the Agilent 66300-series dc sources. With it, you can: Control output and measurement functions from a single window. View output measurements on an oscilloscope-like display. Copy, save, or print captured waveforms. Recall saved waveforms for on-screen comparison with live waveforms. Adjust horizontal and vertical markers to perform measurements on a selected section of the waveform. Operate in either simulation mode (no hardware required), or in instrument control mode. Long-term voltage and current data logging.1 • Generate CCDF graphs of battery current drain.1 1Available on 66319B/D and 66321B/D dc sources with firmware version A.03.00 or later. Firmware upgrade p/n = 5182-9091.Refer to the on-line help for firmware upgrade instructions. NOTE: The Agilent 14565B Device Characterization Software does not control instruments other than the supported Agilent dc sources. Drivers for other GPIB instruments are not provided. Automation Interface The Agilent 14565B Automation Interface lets you automate, or control the Agilent 14565B Device Characterization functions from another program. The Agilent 14565B Automation Interface is supported by programming languages or applications that can use COM components for communication. The following programming environments are presently supported: Agilent Wireless Test Manager (WTM). Microsoft Excel. National Instruments LabView. Visual C++ using MFC. Visual Basic 6.0 Visual C# .NET. Visual Basic .NET Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) NOTE: Refer to the Agilent 14565B Automation Programming Guide for complete information on using the Agilent 14565B Device Characterization software within the listed programming environments. 4
Installing and Running the Software NOTE: Before running the Agilent 14565B application, you must have installed and connected the dc source to a computer with the appropriate interface cable. You must also have the appropriate interface card installed and configured. If you are using an Agilent interface card, you must have the appropriate SICL or VISA library drivers installed. 1. Place the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive and run Agilent14565B install. 2. Follow the directions on the screen to install the software. The Readme.txt file contains product updates or corrections that are not documented in the on-line help file. Use any text editor to open and read this file. 3. To run the Agilent 14565B application from the Start menu, click: Programs | Agilent 14565B Additional information about the Agilent 14565B application is available in the on-line help document that can be accessed from the application. Configuring the I/O This step is necessary to establish communication with the dc source. Make sure that the dc source is turned on. To configure the I/O, select I/O Configuration command in the Source menu. The I/O configuration screen comes up automatically when you turn Simulation mode off in the Source menu. Note that VISA is the required I/O type for the Data Logging and CCDF functions. Select I/O type. (HP-IB, GPIB, VISA, or serial) Serial port only. Specifies the comm port on the PC. Address must match setting of instrument. (HPIB/GPIB only) Serial port only. Dc source must match these Baud rate, Parity and Flow control settings. For HP-IB cards only. Must match SICL name used in GPIB card’s configuration. If there seems to be no communication between the Agilent 14565B application and the dc source, select Auto Detect to detect any dc sources connected to your computer. If you still cannot communicate with the dc source and you wish to exit the application, select Simulation mode in the IO type field. Then exit the application. Click to automatically search for any dc source on the interface. NOTE: If you program the unit from its front panel while the Agilent 14565B application is running, you must refresh or update the application. Go to the View menu and select the Reread Instrument State command. 5
Performing Basic Operations The Main window appears when you run the Agilent 14565B application. From this window you can control the output of the dc source and view output measurements. NOTE: Not all controls are displayed when you initially run the Agilent 14565B application. Output 2 controls are only available on Agilent 66309B/D and 66319B/D. DVM controls are only available on Agilent 66311D/66309D and 66319D/66321D. Turn on output 1. Enter voltage and current for output 1. Output 2 and DVM controls not available on all models. Use View menu to display. Click V to measure voltage; Click A to measure current. Click to make a measurement. This overwrites the previous waveform. Adjust values to vary sample rate and vertical scale. Can be done before or after measurement. To display a sample waveform: Select the Load Waveform command in the File menu, and then select DemoWaveform1.txt. Select Active Waveform in the Load Waveform Location dialog box. The waveform should match the one shown in the above figure. To set the voltage, current, and resistance levels: Click in the field labeled Voltage, type in the desired output voltage and press Enter. Enter a current limit value in the field labeled Current. For units that have programmable output resistance, enter a resistance value in the field labeled Resistance. To turn on the output: Enable the dc source output by moving the slide switch to ON. On some models, each output has its own output control. If the message OVLD appears in the display, set the Current Measurement control to the Hi Range. 6
To make a measurement: Click the A button to select current measurements; click the V button to select voltage measurements. Click the Measure button to make the measurement. Adjust the time/div and amps/div fields to adjust the sample rate and vertical scale. Click Auto Scale to fit the display to the acquired waveform. To view the output 2 controls and the DVM display: If your dc source has a second output or a DVM input, go to the View menu and check the item that you wish to display. ✔ Second Output ✔ Digital Voltmeter If the item is grayed out, your dc source does not have this feature. Display Area The display area displays the output measurement after the Measure button is pressed. Only measurements from the main output can be displayed. The following figure describes the various measurements displayed in the window. Maximum measured value. Vertical axis displays amplitude. Minimum measured value. Displays the measurements calculated from the waveform. Average high level. Average low level. The values in the measurement area at the bottom of the display are calculated from the all of the data that is captured in the display. If horizontal markers have been set, measurements are calculated only from the data between the markers. Refer to Performing Measurements on Waveforms. Calculated measurements at the bottom of the display may not agree exactly with values shown on the front panel of the instrument if the sample rate of the display differs significantly from the instrument’s front panel sample rate. 7
Making Triggered Measurements Triggered measurements let you control when the measurement trigger will occur. The following figure describes the various trigger controls. NOTE: If you do not know where to set the trigger level, you can make a measurement with the trigger set to Auto Trig. Then view the measurement to see where to place the trigger level. Set the trigger controls and make another measurement. Move slide to specify the trigger level. Set up the triggered measurement Move slide to specify a trigger offset. Specify the # of sweeps. Refer to the on-line help. Click to initialize a triggered measurement Trigger level is identified by a red line. Trigger point is identified by a vertical red line. Specifies a hysteresis band around the trigger level. Click the A button to select current measurements; click the V button to select voltage measurements. • Set the time/div control to a value that is appropriate for the load’s transient timing. • Set up the measurement trigger. Choose from Auto, Pos Slope, Neg Slope, or Either Slope. External lets you apply an external trigger signal to the Output Port connector. Refer to the User’s Guide for more information. • Adjust the Level slide control until the trigger level is at the point where the trigger should occur. The trigger level is displayed as a red horizontal line on the display. NOTE: The trigger level cannot go negative. Set the trigger control to Auto Trig to trigger negative waveforms. • Use the Pre-Trigger control to show pre-trigger waveform information. When this control is used, the trigger point will be displayed as a short vertical red line on the bottom of the waveform display graph. 8
