Communicate with the instrument

To communicate with the USB device, you need to use NI-VISA

. VISA requires a resource string in

the following format to connect to the correct USB instrument:

USB[board]::manufacturer ID::model code::serial number[::USB interface

number][::INSTR]

This requires that you determine the parameters. You can gather this information by running a utility

that automatically detects all instruments connected to the computer.

If you installed the Keithley I/O Layer, the Keithley Configuration Panel is available from the

Microsoft
