Full range of functions — In addition to those listed above, the Model 2000 functions
include period, dB, dBm, continuity, diode testing, mX+b, and percent.
Optional scanning — For internal scanning, options include the Model 2000-SCAN, a
10-channel, general-purpose card, and the Model 2001-TCSCAN, a 9-channel, thermo-
couple card with a built-in cold junction. For external scanning, the Model 2000 is com-
patible with Keithley's Model 7001 and 7002 switch matrices and cards.
Programming languages and remote interfaces — The Model 2000 offers three program-
ming language choices (SCPI, Keithley Models 196/199, and Fluke 8840A/8842A) and
two remote interface ports (IEEE-488/GPIB and RS-232C).
Reading and setup storage — Up to 1024 readings and two setups (user and factory de-
faults) can be stored and recalled.
Closed-cover calibration — The instrument can be calibrated either from the front panel
or remote interface.
