Using the Web Server
You can communicate with the signal generator using the Web Server. This service uses TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) to communicate with the signal generator over the
internet.
The Web Server uses a client/server model where the client is the web browser on your PC or
workstation and the server is the signal generator. When you enable the Web Server, you can access
a web page that resides on the signal generator.
The Web–Enabled PSG web page, shown in
, provides general information on your signal
generator and a means to control the instrument by using a remote front panel interface or using
SCPI (Standard Communication for Programmable Instruments) commands. The web page also has
links to Agilent’s products, support, manuals, and website.
NOTE
The Web Server service is compatible with the latest version of the Microsoft© Internet
Explorer web browser.

front panel hardkeys, softkeys and number pad. There is also a text box that can be used to send
SCPI commands to the instrument.
