DMM6500 6½-Digit Bench/System Digital Multimeter

System Integration and Programming

Users have maximum programming ﬂexibility with the DMM6500. In addition to traditional SCPI programming (default),

the unit can also be conﬁgured for SCPI emulation for the Keithley 2000 or the Keysight 34401A. Additionally, Keithley’s

powerful Test Script Processor (TSP

) programming is another option that allows unique single- or multi-instrument testing

applications where speed is critical.

TSP

scripting allows running powerful test scripts directly on the instrument, without the need for an external PC controller.

These test scripts are complete test programs based on an easy-to-use yet highly efﬁcient and compact scripting language,

LUA (www.lua.org). Scripts are a collection of instrument control commands and/or program statements. Program

statements control script execution and provide facilities such as variables, functions, branching, and loop control. This

allows you to create powerful measurement applications without an integrated development environment (IDE). Test scripts

can contain any sequence of routines that are executable by conventional programming languages (including decision-

making algorithms), so the instrument can manage every facet of the test without the need to communicate with a PC for

decision making. This eliminates delays due to GPIB, Ethernet, or USB trafﬁc congestion and greatly improves test times.

TSP technology also offers mainframe-less channel

expansion. The KTTI-TSP is a user installable accessory

card offering connectivity to TSP-Link

technology.

This channel expansion bus allows connecting multiple

DMM6500’s or other TSP-enabled instruments together

to form a tightly synchronized instrument system.

Connection is provided with simple low cost Category 5

Ethernet cabling. The system is organized in a master-

subordinate conﬁguration, essentially allowing the

connected instruments to act as one. Other Keithley

TSP-enabled instruments include the 2450 and 2460

technology supports up to 32 units,

so it’s easy to scale a system to ﬁt the requirements of an

application.
