User’s Guide

Overview

This User’s Guide contains operational differences between the Model 2306NV and the standard Model 2306. The model num­ber displayed during the power up sequence is 2306NV instead of 2306. The REVISION NUMBER under MAIN MENU dis­plays ‘NV’ between the two revision numbers as shown below:

REVISION NUMBER
B13 NV B01

Additionally, sending the identification query ‘ *IDN? ’ returns the 2306NV model number as shown below:

KEITHLEY INSTRUMENTS INC., MODEL 2306NV, xxxxxxx, yyyyy/zzzzz

Where: xxxxxxx is the serial number.

yyyyy is the firmware revision level of the digital board ROM.
zzzzz is the firmware revision level display board ROM.

2306NV operation

Essentially, the Model 2306NV functions the same as the Model 2306 with one exception: the Model 2306 can perform DVM
measurements while the 2306NV (no voltmeter) cannot. With this in mind, note the following differences:

• The DVM menu item (DVM INPUT) has been removed. Also, the quick disconnect connectors contain non-functional
DVM + and DVM - terminals.

• The commands contained in Table 1 have changed. Sending these unsupported commands will cause errors.
