Keithley 2100 software
Remote control and data logging for the Keithley 2100 multimeter, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every multimeter.
Awaiting confirmation
Status
Very likely. Support for the Keithley 2100 was written from Keithley’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real 2100 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
