Selecting an interface
The Model 2000 multimeter supports two built-in remote interfaces:
• GPIB bus
• RS-232 interface
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
memory; it does not change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
Before you select a remote interface, consider the programming language you want to use.
For more information about selecting programming languages, see this section.
