Programming Language Selection
You can select one of three languages to program the multimeter from
the selected remote interface. The language is
SCPI when the multimeter is
shipped from the factory.
• Select one of the following: SCPI, Agilent 3478A, or Fluke 8840A.
• The language selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• There are certain restrictions to be aware of when you are selecting
the interface language (see also “Remote Interface Selection,” on
page 92). The Agilent 3478A and Fluke 8840A/8842A languages
are not supported on the
