I am plotting a 3D graph using CWgraph 3D could get a contour plot for particular level/ intensity of Z axis. how can i get the area of this contour plot ?
there must be some way to get the cordinates or area directly because it is already plotting the contour nicely. ????

Thank you normandinf, for sharing your experience .
in our 6487 , the voltage source part behaves strangely . when i start the instrument, the source shows -8 V. but if i switch on voltage source and cross -8 v then it shows the actual voltage and then i can increase it to zero or even positive. may be as u say it is damaged. ( dissaponited :headbang: my experiments is waiting for the instrument ).
i have written to keithley .
thanking you

Dear normandinf,
i follow the manual refrence and already understood the meaning of compliance. we have seen this conditions many times when the current measured is more than the set range. but now the problem is we are not connecting any voltage source and no current is flowing. still it says cmpl. that means it may be shorted inside the instrument somewhere???
we have written the program to configure both the 6487 and they are same and functioning fine so far.
i hope u have understood the problem. and thanks a lot for a quick reply.
waiting for ur reply
thanking you

Hi Ranjini,Here's the Source Manual Reference manual extract (page 3-18) for your condition:
http://www.keithley.com/products/locurrhir...487/Documents#6
Compliance indication
At any time, it is possible that the voltage source will go into compliance (current limit
reached). Should this situation occur, the OCOMP annunciator (Output Compliance) will
flash and the displayed voltage value for readings of less than 6½ digits will alternate
between showing the value and displaying "CMPL". If you are in a menu where the voltage
source value is not shown on the right-most four characters of the display, only the
flashing OCOMP annunciator will be shown.
It seems you're out-of-range. Maybe check the range of this 6487. If both 6487 should be the same range, verify both are set the same.
[sENS:VOLT:RANG? + CURR:RANG?] It could also be a current-limit if you're using the voltage source (SOUR:VOLT:RANG? + CURR:RANG?), but if you're measuring voltage (sense), that is not the case.
Hope this helps.

I am using two keithley 6487 through labview to scan the voltage for an ion beam deflector. recently one of them started showing cmpl on the front panel ocomp also flashes. all the probes i opened and run it through frontpanel. still the problem persists. tried to update the firmware and it failed to complete updating .
can any one give any clue why this happens. the interlock connector is proper.
this is not a question directly linked with labview but i could not find any other active forum to post the problem. i apologise.
pls help me to recover it.
thanking you
