Question: What is the difference between the 2230 and 2230G?
Answer:
The G designation in Keithley power supply model numbers indicates that the power supply has a built-in GPIB port. However, some models might include a GPIB port without having a G in their model number. Check the instrument datasheet for the most accurate information.
These power supplies are generally identical, besides the 'G' model having a GPIB port. See the table for some otherwise equivalent models.
