To select a DMM option click on the Select DMM button. This button will only show in this format if a valid initialisation sequence has been carried out and it has been successful.
To connect to a resource, the correct Connecting String needs to be entered in this field. The Connecting String can be found by using the National Instruments' Measurement & Automation program which should be on the system as part of the default installation.

Copy or rename the device as shown and enter these details into the fields as shown on the DMM Options.
For external resources, the Connecting String is generally pre-programmed into the device and can be accessed via the advanced menu or explained in the device's help file.
The default connection strings are as follows:
Keysight - "TCPIP0::169.254.4.61::INSTR" (this is the default IP address for Keysight 34465a)
Agilent - "TCPIP0::169.254.4.10::INSTR" (this is the default IP address for Agilent 34410A)
