Model 6487 Reference Manual
DDC language
The Model 6487 can be configured to accept the device-dependent commands (DDCs) of
the Keithley Model 487 picoammeter by enabling the DDC language. To do so, use the
LANG/DDC selection in the CONFIG COMM menu, as described in
figuring an interface,” page 9-2
. The commands for controlling the Model
6487 with the DDC language are provided in
. For details on Model 487 opera-
tion, refer to the appropriate instruction manual PDF on the product information CD-ROM
included with your shipment.
Since the architecture of the Model 6487 differs from that of the Model 487, some com-
mands are different and cannot be used. Be sure to refer to the notes at the end of the table
for information on command restrictions.
`^rqflk
The DDC 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.
