Remote Operation

Selecting and configuring an interface
Interfaces
The Model 2182 Nanovoltmeter supports two built-in remote interfaces:
•
GPIB Interface
•
RS-232 Interface
You can use only one interface at a time. At the factory, the GPIB bus is selected. You can
select the interface only from the front panel. The interface selection is stored in non-volatile
memory; it does not change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
GPIB interface
— The GPIB is the IEEE-488 interface. The Model 2182 must be assigned
to a unique address. At the factory the address is set to 07, but can be set to any value from 0 to
30. However, the address must not conflict with the address assigned to other instruments in the
system. You can use either the SCPI or 182 language to program the instrument.
RS-232 interface
— When using the RS-232 interface, you must select baud rate, terminator,
and flow control. For the RS-232 interface, you can only use the SCPI language to program the
instrument.
NOTE
When changing the interface (GPIB to RS-232, or vice versa), all data in the buffer
clears.
Languages
For the GPIB interface, there are two programming languages to choose from:
•
SCPI Language
•
182 Language
NOTE
For the RS-232 interface, only the SCPI language can be used to program the
instrument. When the RS-232 interface is selected, it automatically defaults to SCPI.
SCPI language
— Standard Commands for Programmable Instrument (SCPI) is fully
supported by the GPIB and RS-232 interfaces. Always calibrate the Model 2182 using the SCPI
language.
182 Language
— The Model 2182 implements most commands (DDCs) available in the
Keithley Model 182 Sensitive Digital Voltmeter. The commands (along with programming
limitations) are provided in
. See the Model 182 Instruction Manual.
NOTE
The 182 Language is intended to be used only over the IEEE-488 bus. Using front
panel controls in conjunction with this language may cause erratic operation. In this
case, results cannot be guaranteed.
