Introduction
The Model 2700 requires firmware revision B02 or higher (B03, B04, etc.) to properly support the Model 7708 40-Channel Differential

zzz is the display board firmware revision (e.g., A01), which does not apply to this upgrade.
To determine the firmware revision with remote control, use the *IDN? query command. After sending the *IDN? command and
addressing the Model 2700 to talk, the following response message is sent to the computer:
KEITHLEY INSTRUMENTS INC., MODEL 2700, xxxxxxx, yyy/zzz
where: xxxxxxx is the serial number of the Model 2700.
