Using the Keithley Instruments KI-488 Diagnostic Tool
The KI-488 Diagnostic Tool lets you communicate with any GPIB instrument by writing command strings to
your instrument and reading the results.
Before you launch the diagnostic tool, make sure that the KPCI-488LPA is connected to both your computer
