Connecting to Keithley 195 by Keithley in Python
Instrument Card
The Keithley 195A Digital Multimeter is a fully programmable instrument with a 5.5 digit resolution. In standard configuration, the Model 195A is capable of DC voltage measurements between 100nV and 1000V on six ranges, 2-terminal and 4-terminal resistance measurements between 100µO and 20MO on seven ranges. The instrument is designed to work with platinum RTD probes, a factor which contributes to high accuracy.

PROTOCOLS > SCPI
To connect to a Keithley 195 Multimeter using Instrumentkit, you can use the following code:
import instrumentkit as ik
# Connect to the Keithley 195 Multimeterdmm = ik.keithley.Keithley195.open_gpibusb('/dev/ttyUSB0', 12)
# Perform a measurementmeasurement = dmm.measure(dmm.Mode.resistance)
# Print the measurement resultprint(measurement)This code imports the instrumentkit module and uses the open_gpibusb method from the ik.keithley.Keithley195 class to connect to the Keithley 195 Multimeter. The open_gpibusb method takes the device path ('/dev/ttyUSB0') and the GPIB address (12) as arguments.
After connecting, you can use the measure method to perform a measurement. In this example, the measurement mode is set to resistance (dmm.Mode.resistance), but you can change it to other modes like voltage_dc or current_dc.
Finally, the measurement result is printed to the console.
