Remote communications interfaces
You can choose from one of several communication interfaces to send commands to and receive
responses from the DMM7510.
You can control the DMM7510 from only one communications interface at a time. The first interface
on which the instrument receives a message takes control of the instrument. If another interface
sends a message, that interface can take control of the instrument. You may need to enter a
password to change the interface, depending on the setting of interface access.
The DMM7510 automatically detects the type of communications interface (LAN, USB, or GPIB)
when you connect to the respective port on the rear panel of the instrument. In most cases, you do
not need to configure anything on the instrument. In addition, you do not need to reboot if you change
the type of interface that is connected.
Supported remote interfaces
The DMM7510 supports the following remote interfaces:
•
GPIB: IEEE-488 instrumentation general-purpose interface bus
•
Ethernet: Local-area-network communications
•
USB: Type B USB port
•
TSP-Link
builders can use to connect multiple instruments in a master-and-subordinate configuration
For details about TSP-Link, see "TSP-Link System Expansion Interface" in the Model DMM7510
Reference Manual.
