Selecting an interface

The Model 2000 multimeter supports two built-in remote interfaces:

You can use only one interface at a time. The factory interface selection is the GPIB bus. You
can select the interface only from the front panel. The interface selection is stored in non-volatile

Before you select a remote interface, consider the programming language you want to use.
For more information about selecting programming languages, see this section.
