Create Test Sequences without Programming Using BenchVue Test Flow

Application Notes

Introduction

Keysight PathWave BenchVue software lets you connect, control and capture data from your choice of an ever-growing list of supported Keysight instruments— digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, and RF signal sources and analyzers, just to name a few. The PathWave BenchVue Test Flow application allows you to create sequences of setups and measurements, all without having to write a computer program. This application note explains some of the many things you can do with the Test Flow application, including:

  • Dragging and dropping instrument settings and retrieving measurements into
  • a sequence
  • Creating loops, delays, prompts, and simple “if-then” conditions
  • Using mathematical operations
  • Automatically exporting data and images to Microsoft Excel, MATLAB, CSV or Microsoft Word files
  • Controlling equipment not on the PathWave BenchVue supported instrument list
  • Using instrument commands not already built in to PathWave BenchVue
