2701 Ethernet-Based DMM / Data Acquisition System

Key facts

Using the Keithley 2701 can reduce networking costs by requiring only one computer, as compared to traditional systems where separate computer/controllers may be needed with each instrument or DAQ system. In addition, using Ethernet to control the Model 2701 provides reliable measurements without the configuration and installation challenges of traditional GPIB alternatives. With a Model 2701, there is no need to open a PC or install separate communication interfaces such as GPIB boards. Just connect the Model 2701 directly to the PC’s Ethernet port via a cross over RJ-45 cable, which is included with the Model 2701.

The Model 2701 can be controlled and provide readings over an Ethernet connection using
TCP/IP protocol. The Model 2701 contains an integral web server which provides diagnostic
control of the Model 2701 through ActiveX controls. The web pages accessed via the built-in web server allow the user to view diagnostic information, view and edit the Instrument's
networking configuration, take and display simple readings, and send the instrument SCPI
commands and display the results. The 2701’s IP address, as well as Subnet mask, Gateway,
DHCP, among other items, can be set from the instruments front panel or over the Ethernet
connection.
