Supported Remote Interfaces - Keithley 2601B Reference Manual

Section 2: General operation

Supported remote interfaces

The Series 2600B supports the following remote interfaces:
•
GPIB. General purpose interface bus is an IEEE-488 instrumentation data bus.
•
LAN. Local area network (LAN) communications provide the flexibility to build scalable and
functional test or data acquisition systems with a large degree of flexibility.
•
USB. Communicate with the instrument over a USB connection.
•
RS-232.
The Series 2600B can be controlled from only one communication interface at a time. The first
interface on which it receives a message takes control of the instrument. It ignores the other
interfaces until the instrument is returned to local operation.
For more information about the remote interfaces, see:
