Set up KXCI for ethernet control
To set up ethernet control:
1. Open KCon.
2. Select KXCI Settings. The KXCI Settings dialog box is displayed.
3. Set Communications to Ethernet.
4. Set the Port Number (the default is 1225, which is acceptable for most installations). Make note
of the port number for use in the code.
5. Select a Reading Delimiter. The delimiter determines if the delimiter for output data is a string
terminator or a comma.
6. If you selected String Terminator, select the Character. The 4200A-SCS automatically adds a
null character as a terminator, so it is recommended that you set the terminating character to
None to avoid extra termination characters. The options are:
▪ None to use no character.
▪ CR to use a carriage return.
▪ LF to use a line feed.
▪ CR/LF to use a carriage return and line feed character sequence.
7. Select OK.
When KXCI starts, the status messages look similar to the following figure when GPIB is set up.

Setting up KXCI as a 4145B emulator
Although the KXCI command set is similar to the Keysight 4145B command set, the 4200A-SCS and
Keysight 4145B hardware are different. To use existing 4145B code with the 4200A-SCS, you need
to set up the 4200A-SCS SMUs to map to the 4145B instrument numbers. In many cases, test
programs developed for use with a Keysight 4145B run without modification when they are used with
a 4200A-SCS running KXCI. When a mode is selected, KXCI always starts in that mode.
The following table summarizes some differences and similarities between the modes.
