How do I set a DAQ (keithley 2700) to shut down at a particular time of the day?

Temperature measurements using Keithley 2700 DAQ is to be taken from 9am till 3pm. how to make sure DAQ shuts down automatically without having to switch it off manually. Is it possible to give some command via computer connected to DAQ to shut it down?

By shutdown do you mean power off or just stop acquiring data? 

There's no commands for turning off the power on the Keithley 2700.  If you really need to turn the power off on the instrument then I suggest plugging the instrument into a usb controlled power bar and using software to turn the power bar on and off.  I have used them in a few applications and they are reliable and cheap.
