FAQs and next steps
How do I change the command set?
In addition to the front panel, you can use a remote interface
to set up the instrument. You can choose one of the following
command sets:
•
SCPI: An instrument-specific language built on the SCPI
standard.
• TSP: A programming language that you can use to send
individual commands or combine commands into scripts.
You cannot combine the command sets.
As delivered from Keithley Instruments, the 2460 is set to
work with the SCPI command set.
To set the command set using the front panel:
1. Press the
MENU
key.
2. Under System, select
Settings
.
3. Select the button next to
Command Set
.
4. Select the command set.
5. Select
OK
to reboot the instrument.
Why did my settings change?
The instrument saves many of the commands with the
source or measure function that was active when you set
them. For example, assume you have the measure function
set to current and set a value for NPLCs. When you change
the measure function to voltage, the NPLC value changes to
the value that was last set for the voltage measure function.
When you return to the current measure function, NPLC
value returns to the value you set previously.
