Appendix C: Communication interface 

Model 2110 5½ Digit Multimeter Reference Manual 

 

C-8 

2110-901-01 Rev. C/August 2013 

 

Communication with the instrument 

The GPIB driver software you installed installs an interactive dumb terminal program that allows you 
to send commands to the instrument. The program directly calls the GPIB driver support libraries. 

For the KPCI-488LPA and KUSB-488B GPIB controller from Keithley Instruments, the configuration 
utility is called the KI-488 Diagnostic Tool. It is available from the Windows Start menu at 

Keithley 

Instruments > KI-488 > KI-488 Diagnostic

 

Tool

 after installing the Keithley I/O layer. 

 

For the KUSB-488A GPIB controller from Keithley Instruments, the configuration utility is called 
TrTest. It is available from the Microsoft

®

 Windows

®

 Start Menu at 

Keithley Instruments > 

GPIB-488-CEC > TrTest

. 

For National Instruments (NI

TM

) GPIB controllers, you can use NI-MAX. Start NI-MAX. If your 

hardware is installed correctly, you will see the controller in the GPIB section of the tree control on the 
left side. Select it and right-click to see an option to communicate with the instrument. 

 

If you want to use the GPIB controller with an instrument driver (such as VXIPnP or IVI) or high-level 
software, you must also install I/O software, which installs the VISA layer. See 

How to install the 

Keithley I/O Layer

 (on page C-15). 

 

Terminator 

When receiving data over the GPIB, the instrument terminates on any line feed character or any data 
byte with EOI asserted (line feed with EOI asserted is also valid). When sending data through the 
GPIB drivers, it is not necessary to append a line feed character to all outgoing messages. The EOI 
line is asserted with the last character sent. 

However, if you want your program to communicate with all I/O buses on the instrument (GPIB and 
USB), it is good practice to add a line feed to the end of the outgoing command. Use VISA, and the 
same program will work with all the I/O buses by changing the resource string in the VISA Open 
method. 

 

Front-panel GPIB operation 

This section describes aspects of the front panel that are part of GPIB operation, including messages, 
status indicators, and the LOCAL key. 

 

Error and status messages 

The front-panel display may show error and status messages. 

 

Local key 

The SHIFT (LOCAL) key cancels the remote state and restores local operation of the instrument.
