Switching control interfaces
When the access mode is set to anything other than Full, you need to log in to the instrument from
the new interface before you can change any settings.
If you are changing to the front panel, when you attempt to make a selection, the Display Lockout -
Enter Password keypad is displayed. Enter the password and select the OK button on the displayed
keyboard.
When you change the remote interface, you must send the following TSP or SCPI command before
sending commands:
login password
Replace password with the instrument password.
Determining the command set you will use
You can change the command set that you use with the 2470. The remote command sets that are
available include:
• SCPI: An instrument-specific language built on the SCPI standard.
• TSP: A scripting programming language that contains instrument-specific control commands that
can be executed from a stand-alone instrument. You can use TSP to send individual commands
or use it to combine commands into scripts.
If you change the command set, reboot the instrument.
You cannot combine the command sets.
As delivered from Keithley Instruments, the 2470 is set to work with the SCPI command set.
To set the command set from the front panel:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under System, select Settings.
3. Select the appropriate Command Set.
You are prompted to confirm the change to the command set and reboot.
