Summary
3+
-------
4+
This script provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for performing current-voltage (I-V) sweeps
5+
using a Keithley 6221 Current Source and a Keithley 2182A Nanovoltmeter. The K6221 acts as a
6+
GPIB-to-serial bridge to control the K2182A, enabling precise, software-timed measurements.
7+
8+
Description
9+
-----------
10+
The application allows users to define a linear or logarithmic current sweep, set compliance
11+
voltage, and configure timing parameters. It plots the resulting I-V curve and Resistance-Current
12+
curve in real-time. Data is saved to a CSV file for later analysis.
13+
14+
The backend communication has been optimized to use the K2182A's continuous measurement
15+
("free-running") mode, with data retrieved via 'FETC?' commands. This approach provides a more
16+
robust and reliable data acquisition loop compared to trigger-based methods, minimizing the
17+
risk of timing errors or buffer overflows during the sweep.
18+
19+
Features
20+
--------
21+
- Intuitive GUI for setting up and running I-V sweeps.
22+
- Real-time plotting of Voltage vs. Current and Resistance vs. Current.
23+
- Linear and logarithmic sweep modes.
24+
- Automatic scanning for connected GPIB instruments.
25+
- Data export to a timestamped `.dat` (CSV) file.
26+
- Packaged with utility launchers for data plotting and GPIB scanning.
