Appendix E: IEEE-488 conformance
Information
The IEEE-488.2 standard requires specific information about how the Keithley Instruments Model
6517B Electrometer implements the standard. Paragraph 4.9 of the IEEE-488.2 standard
(Std 488.2-1987) lists the documentation requirements. The following table provides a summary of
the requirements, and provides the information or references the manual for that information.
