content: I encountered this issue with only blank lines appearing on the screen. For me the reference circuit was not working, because the TF-245 resistor network had failed. With no reference, or at least wildly out of spec, the adc did not respond to the processor, thus no digits. Check the optocouplers for communication.

content: the 2000 has a full self test. First press the shift key and then press the test key.Choose full test.Half way you will be asked to short all the pins.and later on the high and current input.Tell us the error numbers you get.Benno

content: Is it possible that it is in external trigger mode? I don’t remember if the K2000 can be set to restore to the last state when it is powered on.Check if there is a "TRIG" sign in the lower left corner of the display.

content: HelloFollowing Keithley manual 100.1 is ADC fail , sound logical is ADC is no in order all other faults fall in cascadeNow the question is what is the root cause of the 100.1 ?I have check the resistance value of my tf-245 not wonderfull1 to 16 = 9702 to 15 = 180K !!!!RegardsOS
