Digital Multimeters

Agilent 34410A

Agilent multimeters (now Keysight) are supported in Karabo via the LAN interface and SCPI protocol.

A list of supported features is:

  • DC and AC current measurement
  • DC and AC voltage measurement
  • Resistance measurement
  • Capacitance measurement
  • Frequency and Period measurement
  • Temperature measurement

The Karabo device has been developed for use with 34410A, but it is likely to work with other models.

Keithley Multimeters

Keithley multimeters from Tektronix are supported in Karabo via the LAN interface and SCPI protocol.

Various models are supported and are all contained in one package: keithleyMultimeters. Manuals are available here as well in the doc folder.

Supported models:

Most models have:

  • DC and AC current measurement
  • DC and AC voltage measurement
  • Resistance measurement
  • Capacitance measurement

The models 2611, 2700 and 6430 where brought by users and are not part of XFEL property.

Ophir Nova 2

Ophir laser power meters are supported in Karabo with the use of Lantronix ethernet to RS-232 converters.

Ophir makes use of a custom ASCII protocol.

The Ophir Nova II spports several heads for different types of measurements.

A list of supported features is:

  • Power measurement (watts)
  • Energy measurement (joules)
  • Frequency measurement (hertz)

Other meters from Ophir should be supported out of the box.
