Commands:

Name Description
StateInput: DevVoid
Output: State		 This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller.
StatusInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller.
RangeUPInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Up the range of the electrometer. Throw : - electrometer::ElectrometerException if the range limit is reached - Tango::DevFailed if the command cannot be performed
RangeDOWNInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Down the range of the electrometer. Throw : - electrometer::ElectrometerException if the range is negative - Tango::DevFailed if the command cannot be performed
AutoRangeONInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Command to switch the electrometer auto range ON
AutoRangeOFFInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Command to switch the electrometer auto range OFF
ZeroCheckONInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Command to switch the electrometer zero check ON
ZeroCheckOFFInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Command to switch the electrometer zero check OFF
ZeroCorrectONInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Command to switch the electrometer zero correct ON
ZeroCorrectOFFInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Command to switch the electrometer zero correct OFF
AutoZeroONInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 To help maintain stability and accuracy over time and changes in temperature, the Model 6487 periodically measures internal voltages corresponding to offsets (zero) and amplifier gains. These measurements are used in the algorithm to calculate the reading of the input signal.
AutoZeroOFFInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 When autozero is disabled, the offset and gain measurements are not performed. This increases measurement speed up to three times. However, the zero and gain reference points can eventually drift resulting in inaccurate readings of the input signal. It is recommended that autozero only be disabled for short periods of time.
SetAmperMeterModeInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 If supported, this command switch the electrometer in AmperMeter mode
SetVoltMeterModeInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 If supported, this command switch the electrometer in VoltMeter mode.
SetOhmMeterModeInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 If supported, this command switch the electrometer in OhmMeter mode.
SetCoulombMeterModeInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 If supported, this command switch the electrometer in Coulomb Meter mode.
ClearRegistersInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Clear all registers.
AverageStateONInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Enable digital filter
AverageStateOFFInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Disable digital filter
ClearBufferInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 This command clears all data previously stored.
StartInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Trigger one or more reading(s)
ResetInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Reset to factory settings
AbortInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 SCPI command only Cancels all operations started by Start command
EnableSRQBufferFullInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Sets Buffer Full bit in the MEASUREMENT REGISTER EVENT. To know if the integration is finished, check : - if the attribute isDataAvailable is true or - if the device state is STANDBY
DisableSRQBufferFullInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Resets all events in the device registers.
GetKeithleyConfigInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 Returns the Keithley DDC model configuration such as TriggerMode, mode, ....
GetRangeInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 Returns the electrometer range value.
SetRangeInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid		 Sets the new electrometer range value.
GetModeInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 Returns the electrometer mode.
GetIntegrationTimeInput: DevVoid
Output: DevDouble		 Returns the electrometer integration time (in seconds).
SetIntegrationTimeInput: DevDouble
Output: DevVoid		 Sets the new electrometer integration time value (in seconds).
VSourceOutputONInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Enables the V-SOURCE output
VSourceOutputOFFInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Disables the V-SOURCE output
SaveConfigurationInput: DevUShort
Output: DevVoid		 Save the Keithley configuration.
RestoreConfigurationInput: DevUShort
Output: DevVoid		 Restores the saved Keithley configuration, stored at the specified index.
