Math
If you set a function to calculate the logged data, 1 will be displayed in the cell in this

about this function, refer to Math calculations that you can apply to measurements
(on page 4-11).
Relative
In this column, 1 means the deviation caused by the line resistor is cancelled; 0
means the deviation is not cancelled. For more details about this setting, refer to
Relative offset (on page 4-12).
OXP
In this column, 1 means any kind of protection is enabled; 0 means that no protection
is enabled. For more details about this setting, refer to Protection (on page 2-78).
Overflow
In this column, 1 means the current has exceeded the preset current range; 0 means
the current is within the range. For more details about this setting, refer to Setting

the data into your report.
Copy all

USB communications
To use the rear-panel USB port, you must have the Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA)
layer on the host computer. See How to install the Keithley I/O Layer (on page 2-69) for more
information.
VISA contains a USB-class driver for the USB Test and Measurement Class (USBTMC) protocol that,
once installed, allows the Microsoft Windows operating system to recognize the instrument.
When you connect a USB device that implements the USBTMC or USBTMC-USB488 protocol to the
computer, the VISA driver automatically detects the device. Note that the VISA driver only
automatically recognizes USBTMC and USBTMC-USB488 devices. It does not recognize other USB
devices, such as printers, scanners, and storage devices.
In this section, "USB instruments" refers to devices that implement the USBTMC or
USBTMC-USB488 protocol.
