Communication interfaces
This section shows you how to connect instruments to the following remote communication interfaces:
•
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
•
Local area network (LAN)
•
General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB or IEEE-488)
It describes how to configure and troubleshoot these interfaces on computers with Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems.
It also describes the I/O software, drivers, and application software that can be used with Keithley’s
instruments.
USB
To use the USB connection, you must have the Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) layer
on the host computer. See
How to install the Keithley I/O Layer
61) for more information.
VISA contains a USB Class driver for the USB Test & Measurement Class (USBTMC) protocol which,
once installed, allows the Windows operating system to recognize the instrument.
