Answers to Questions
1. Can I write my own instrument drivers in Metrics ICS?
Yes. Beginning with version 3.6.0 Metrics ICS includes access to the Microsoft Visual Basic Script language. In addition Metrics Technology has written several extensions to the VB Script language to simplify the process of communicating with the GPIB card. Now it is possible to create a driver for any GPIB instrument. Please note that Support for writing custom drivers is provided as consultation and requires the payment of NRE charges.
2. Are there drivers available for the HP 4140B Pico Ammeter?
Yes.
3. Does ICS support stress and sampling modes of the HP 4156A/B/C?
The ICS 4155-6 driver supports all internal sampling modes of the HP 4156A/B/C.
4. Are drivers available for the Keithley 238?
Yes. The driver is part of the Metrics ICS product.
5. How can I add a driver for a Temptronix hot chuck in ICS?
Metrics ICS has a feature called USER PROGRAM in the Setup Editor that allows the execution of separate ".exe" programs before or after the ICS measurement is performed. The user can write a Visual Basic program to set the Hot Chuck temperature. The program should terminate returning control to ICS to complete the measurement. After the measurement is complete the user program can be called again to set another temperature. This allows simple control programs to be integrated into the ICS measurement sequence.
