The Model 2010 can be configured to accept device-dependent commands of the Keithley
Models 196/199. The commands for controlling the Model 2010 with the 196/199 language are
provided in Table D-1.
Since the architecture of the Model 2010 differs from that of the 196/199, some commands
are different or cannot be used. Commands such as function (offset-compensated ohms,
AC current dB), range, analog and digital filter, rate, calibration, factory defaults, and self-test
do not map one-for-one. Also note that the Model 2010 does not have the speed characteristics
of the Models 196/199. Other commands of the Model 2010 have been added to the 196/199
command set, such as frequency, temperature, and scanning. Refer to the appropriate manual for
further details.
CAUTION
The 196/199 language is intended to be used only over the IEEE-488 bus.
Using front panel controls in conjunction with this language may cause
erratic operation. In this case, results cannot be guaranteed.
