Never Lose Data and Test Time
Data can be stored to an external USB memory stick to prevent data loss in the event of interruption of line power.
The DAQ6510 also has an option to automatically restart scanning after a power interruption. If main power is lost,
the DAQ6510 will re-start the scan when the power is restored. The new data will be stored in a separate data buffer
with time-stamped measured data so that the lost time due to the power failure can be noted. Of most importance,
there is no lost test time due to the instrument sitting idle following a power outage.
Save Test Time in Automated Test Systems
To maximize throughput and minimize total test time, use the reed relay or the solid state relay multiplexer module to
achieve scanning speeds up to 800 channels/s. Also save test time by reducing communication with the test controller.
The DAQ6510 has the built-in intelligence to execute a test script, make decisions, and control other instruments. The
DAQ6510 has Keithley’s Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) measurement and control language that the user can use to either
execute existing scripts or write custom scripts to run tests. TSP
®
scripting allows running powerful test scripts directly on
the instrument, without the need for an external PC controller. These test scripts are complete test programs based on an
easy-to-use yet highly efficient and compact scripting language, LUA (www.lua.org). Scripts are a collection of instrument
control commands and/or program statements. Program statements control script execution and provide facilities such
as variables, functions, branching, and loop control. This allows you to create powerful measurement applications without
an integrated development environment (IDE). Test scripts can contain any sequence of routines that are executable by
conventional programming languages (including decision-making algorithms), so the instrument can manage every facet of
the test without the need to communicate with a PC for decision making. This eliminates delays due to GPIB, Ethernet, or
USB traffic congestion and greatly improves test times.
