User manual

You can connect a controller to the RS-232 interface. Some considerations for selecting
the RS-232 interface are the following:
• You must define the baud rate, enable or disable software handshake XON/XOF.
• You can only use the SCPI programming language with the RS-232 interface.
To select RS-232 as the remote interface, do the following:
1. Access the RS-232 configuration by pressing SHIFT then RS232.
You see: RS232: OFF
Move to the on/off selection by pressing the key.
You see OFF selection blinking.
Turn on the RS-232 interface by toggling the selection to ON using the or key
and press ENTER.
You can exit the configuration menu by pressing EXIT.
For more information about the RS-232 interface, see section RS-232 operation.
The GPIB bus is the IEEE-488 interface. You must select a unique address for the Model
2000 multimeter. The address is displayed when the multimeter is turned on. At the factory,
the address is set to 16.
Since GPIB is the interface selection defined by the factory, only follow these steps to se-
lect the GPIB interface if you have been previously using the RS-232 remote programming
interface:
1. Select the GPIB option by pressing SHIFT then GPIB.
You see: GPIB: OFF
Move to the on/off selection by pressing the key.
You see OFF selection blinking slowly.
Turn on the GPIB interface by toggling the selection to ON using the or key and
press ENTER.
Turning off the RS-232 interface automatically selects GPIB as the remote programming
interface.
