"Ohm's fourth law: The electrical current always knows if there is no cable!"
(anonymous)
This page is a collection of a few electronics-related programs that I wrote, and of links to other web sites that
have provided some useful information to me at some point in time. Maybe these can help you, too :-)
(Some of the) Things that I wrote
s7150 is a program to access and control the Solartron 7150 (and 7150-plus) Digital
Multimeter using GPIB under Linux. The software allows to ...
- set the DMM into any of its measuring modes (with autoranging),
- specify different data acquisition rates (integration time is
automagically adapted to the sampling rate),
- save acquired data to file,
- display the acquired data almost in real time ("stripchart recorder") using gnuplot.
I am using this software both under kernel 2.6 (linux-gpib-3.2.00) and kernel 2.4
(linux-gpib-3.1.101). The GPIB card is an old HP82335 ISA-slot card. -
This software is published under the GNU Public License (GPL).
Click here to download the program.
The actual version is 20090128, it now contains also code to control two 7150 simultaneously.
Note: I am frequently getting requests about the 715x series manuals.
Please note that the User Manuals are freely avaliable at the BAMA server;
thus I will ignore any e-mail asking about copies of the manual.
- The Service Manuals must be purchased from Solartron.
hp6633 is a program to access and control the Hewlett-Packard 6632, 6633, 6634 Power Supplies using GPIB under Linux.
The software allows to ...
- set actual voltage
- set voltage limit
- set current limit, use current limiter or overcurrent trip
- ramp voltage up, down, or both combined
- keep last settings after quitting the program
- record voltage, current, and elapsed time to file
- display voltage and current almost in real time ("stripchart recorder") using gnuplot.
I am currently using this software under kernel 2.4 with linux-gpib-3.1.101, but later versions should work, too.
The GPIB card is an old HP82335 ISA-slot card. -
This software is published under the GNU Public License (GPL).
Click here to download the program.
The actual version is 20051211.
