Keithley 6487 configuration

Keithley 6487 is like the 6485 model with an extra voltage source.

Yaml sample configuration

plugin: keithley
keithleys:
  - model: 6487
    auto_zero: False
    display: True
    gpib:
     #  url: enet://gpibcb184a

Add in session_name_setup.py a soft axis keith_HV_SR

keith_HV_SR = SoftAxis(‘kipool_source_voltage’, kipoolci, position=’source_value’, move=’source_value’)
