        Keithley Model 182 Sensitive Voltmeter TestPoint Library
        --------------------------------------------------------

        Users Notes:

        The 182 TestPoint Library is User Defined Object that provides
        the user with pre-defined actions that can be used to program
        the 182 for a variety of functions.

        The default IEEE-488 address of the 182 is set at the factory 
        for 7. The 182 Library is set for the default address of 7.
        Should you wish to change the 182 library address to something
        other than 7, double-click on the 182 icon. You can change the
        address to the specific address you wish to use.

        The actions for pre-defined for the 182 Library are as follows:


        Reset
        Read Value
        Read Data Buffer Values
        GPIB Trigger
        Manual Trigger
        Setup 182 Measure Parameters
        Setup 182 Triggering
        Setup 182 Reading Source
        Setup 182 Buffer
        Setup 182 Filtering
        Setup 182 Relative Function
        Setup 182 Misc. Function



        When creating your application, the 182 Icon is dragged from the
        Object List into the Action List. When this process is performed,
        the above list of selections is provided. The user can then select
        the action he or she wish to perform on the 182. The actions are
        described below:


        'Reset'
         -----
        Reset sends a Device Clear to the 182.


        'Read Value'
         ----------
        Read Value performs the action of reading values from the 182.


        'Read Value'
         ----------
        Read Value performs the action of reading the values from the 
        182 data buffer. This action should only be used in conjunction 
        with the 'F2' 182 command which is designed to return all data
        buffer values. This feature can be selected from the 182 Reading
        Source action.

        'GPIB Trigger'
         ------------
        The GPIB Trigger action sends a Group Execute Trigger (GET) to the
        182 for triggering the 182 when using bus triggering.


        'Manual Trigger'
         --------------
        The Manual Trigger sends out the 'H0X' command to the 182.


        'Setup 182 Measure Parameters'
         ----------------------------
        This action allows the user to set the display resolution, range,
        integration period, and reading format for the 182.


        'Setup 182 Triggering'
         --------------------
        This action allows the user to set the 182 for the various modes
        of triggering such as manual, bus, external, one-shot, and 
        continuous triggering. You can also set a trigger delay and a 
        trigger interval.


        'Setup 182 Reading Source'
         ------------------------
        This action allows the user to setup the reading source, either from
        the A/D or data from the buffer.


        'Setup 182 Buffer'
         ----------------
        This action allow the user to setup the buffer, whether the buffer
        is a linear or circular buffer and the number of buffer points.


        'Setup 182 Filtering'
         -------------------
        This action allows the user to set the filtering for the 182.
        Choices include digital filter control, analog filter control,
        and control whether the filters are On or Off.


        'Setup 182 Relative Function'
         ---------------------------
        This action allows the user to setup the relative function of the
        182. This includes the analog output relative and the input 
        reading relative baseline value.

        
        'Setup 182 Misc. Function'
         ------------------------
        This action allows the user to setup various miscellaneous functions
        of the 182. This includes EOI and Bus hold-off, terminators,
        Analog Output Normal Mode Gain, and Analog Output Source Mode Gain.

        =================================================================
        Notes:
        GPIB Address: Should the user wish to alter the address of the 
        182 icon, you can double click on the icon in the object window. 
        A settings panel will appear that will allow the user to change 
        the GPIB address for TestPoint. This does not physically change 
        the address on the 182. Additionally, the user can put the library 
        into DEMO MODE by clicking the appropriate box in the settings panel.

        When returning data from the 182, the library returns the data
        in an 'ANY' data format. If you plan on using objects such as the
        grid object and return data such as the reading, timestamp, and/or
        buffer location, you may wish to change the data format to something
        other than 'ANY'. We have found that an 'ARRAY of NUMBER' or 'LIST'
        works well. The data type can be changed in the 'Read Value' object
        or 'Read Data Buffer' object. These are defined in the 182 User
        Defined Object. To unlock the User Defined Object, please call
        Keithley Applications for the correct password.

        The library covers a large percentage of the 182 operation but
        not 100% of all of the functions. Any function of the 182 can be
        programmed using a GPIB object in your application and programmed
        directly. For further assistance on programming the 182, you can
        contact the Keithley Instruments Application Engineering group at
        800-348-3735 Monday through Friday between 8:00AM and 5:00PM EST.
