Selecting the primary address
The Model 2000 multimeter ships from the factory with a GPIB address of 16. When the
multimeter powers up, it momentarily displays the primary address. You can set the address
to a value of 0-30. Do not assign the same address to another device or to a controller that
are on the same GPIB bus.
Usually controller addresses are 0 or 21, but see the controllers instruction manual for de-
tails. Make certain that the address of the controller is the same as that specified in the con-
trollers programming language.
To change the primary address, follow these steps:
1. Access the GPIB configuration settings by pressing SHIFT then GPIB.
You see: GPIB:ON, with GPIB blinking
Go to Address choice by pressing the key.
You see: ADDR:16
Go to the numeric field by pressing the key.
Enter a new address from 0-30 by using the and ; press ENTER.
5. Return to the main display by pressing EXIT.
QuickBASIC 4.5 programming
Programming examples are written in Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5 using the Keithley KPC-
488.2 (or Capital Equipment Corporation) IEEE interface and the HP-style Universal Lan-
guage Driver (CECHP).
Install the universal language driver
Before any programming example can be run, the Universal Language Driver must first
be installed. To install the driver, from the DOS prompt, enter this command:
cechp
If you include the CECHP command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the driver will automat-
ically be installed every time you turn on your computer.
