GPIB
The 6247G is equipped with the GPIB interface as standard.
6.2.1
Overview
GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) allows external control of the 6247G/6247C measurement function
settings, parameter settings, and reading data, making it simple to configure an automated measurement
system.
As GPIB signals from the 6247G/6247C are electrically isolated inside the unit from the measurement sig-
nal system, the connection of external devices does not affect the measured values.
The remote commands are the same as with USB.
