Series
Table
2A-1. Programming
Instruction®
The programming instructions in this table pertain to the 8500 Series
Digital
Multimeters with the IEEE-488
Interface (Option -05), the
Bit Serial Interface
(Option -06)
or the Parallel Interface
(Option -07) installed.
Features and instructions unique to the DMM model or to the
Interface
used will be identified in the following
manner:
1.
8500A or 8502A: the symbol^ will denote an explanation
applicable
to
one DMM
model only. The
software version incorporated in the DMM may also be
mentioned for further identification. To verify
the
software version incorporated in your
instrument, observe the display indication at power on or reset. For
example, in the 8502A,
"HI-2.
0.2"
will appear in the display for models with software version 2.0.2.
2.
-05,
-06, or
-07
Interface Options: the symbol#
will
be used with a feature or
instruction unique
to a
particular Interface.
