Section 9: Keithley External Control Interface (KXCI)

Setting the remote control mode (GPIB or ethernet)

Set the remote control mode on the 4200A-SCS through KCon. By default, the 4200A-SCS is set up
for GPIB remote control.
To set up the remote control mode on the 4200A-SCS:
1. Open KCon.
2. Select KXCI Settings. The KXCI Settings dialog box is displayed, as shown in the following
figure.
3. Select the Command Set. You can select the Keithley 4200A (Normal) (the default) or Keysight
4145 Emulation. In many cases, test programs developed for use with a 4145B Parameter
Analyzer run without modification when they are used with a 4200A-SCS running KXCI.
To set up GPIB communications:
1. Select GPIB.
2. Set the GPIB Address.
3. Select a Reading Delimiter. The delimiter determines if the delimiter for output data is a string
terminator or a comma.
4. If you selected String Terminator, select the String Terminator. The string terminator determines
if an EOI (End or Identify) signal is sent after data transfer.
To set up ethernet communications:
1. Select Ethernet.
2. Set the Port Number (default is 1225).
