This is the programming manual for the 2840 series resistance meter. It covers the SCPI commands used to control the meter and provides examples of how to use them.
This document serves as a programming guide for the Keysight 2840 Series Resistance Meters (Models 2840 and 2841). It details the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) used to control these devices via GPIB, RS-232, USB, and Ethernet interfaces. The guide explains conventions such as case sensitivity, data types, and command structures.
| Interface Types | GPIB, RS-232, USB, Ethernet |
|---|---|
| Base Standard | IEEE 488.2 |
Supported types include simple integers, decimal numbers, exponential numbers, any format numbers, strings, and boolean values.
Commands must be separated by a semicolon, and subsequent commands inherit the header path of the previous one unless reset.
No, common commands and SCPI commands are not case sensitive; users can use upper or lower case combinations.
