Models 8840A/8842A Device-Dependent Command Summary - Keithley 2000 User Manual

D-6 Models 196/199 and 8840A/8842A Commands
The Model 2000 can be configured to accept device-dependent commands of the Fluke Mod-
els 8840A/8842A. The commands to control the Model 2000 with the 8840A/8842A language
are provided in Table D-2.
Since the architecture of the Model 2000 differs from that of the 8840A/8842A, some com-
mands are different or cannot be used. Commands such as range, calibration, factory defaults,
and self-test do not map one-for-one. Also note that the Model 2000 does not have the speed
characteristics of the Models 8840A/8842A. Other commands of the Model 2000 have been
added to the 8840A/8842A command set, such as frequency, temperature, and scanner channels.
Refer to the appropriate manual for further details.
