Reviewing Lan Trigger Events In The Event Log; Determining The Command Set You Will Use - Keithley Interactive SourceMeter 2450 User Manual

Model 2450 Interactive SourceMeter® Instrument User's Manual

Reviewing LAN trigger events in the event log

The event log records all LXI events that the instrument generates and receives. You can view the
event log using any command interface or the embedded web interface. The log includes the
following information:
•
The EventID column shows the event identifier that generated the event.
•
The System Timestamp column displays the seconds and nanoseconds when the event
occurred.
•
The Data column displays the text of the event message.

Determining the command set you will use

You can change the command set that you use with the Model 2450. The remote command sets that
are available include:
•
SCPI: An instrument-specific language built on the SCPI standard.
•
TSP: A programming language that you can use to send individual commands or use to combine
commands into scripts.
•
SCPI 2400: An instrument-specific language that allows you to run code developed for earlier
Series 2400 instruments.
You cannot combine the command sets.
As delivered from Keithley Instruments, the Model 2450 is set to work with the Model 2450 SCPI
command set.
If you choose the SCPI 2400 command set, you will not have access to some of the extended
ranges and other features that are now available using the SCPI command set. In addition, some
Series 2400 code will work differently in the Model 2450 than it did in the earlier instrument. See
"Model 2450 in a Model 2400 application" in the Model 2450 Reference Manual for information about
the differences.
