Why can't the 2470 read my USB flash drive?
Verify that the flash drive is formatted with the FAT32 file system. The 2470 only supports FAT and
FAT32 drives using MBR (Master Boot Record).
In Microsoft
®
Windows
®
, you can check the file system by checking the properties of the USB flash
drive.
Higher capacity USB drives take longer to read.
How do I change the command set?
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.
To verify which command set is selected from a remote interface:
