Teledyne LeCroy WaveAce 1000_2000 Remote Control - Manual (Page 7)

Operator's Manual
Remote Control Through LAN
WaveAce 2000 series oscilloscopes have a standard LAN connection port for remote control that
utilizes Teledyne LeCroy's VICP protocol for transmitting messages. This protocol emulates IEEE 488.2
(GPIB) and includes operation bits corresponding to SRQ, EOI, Clear, and others in a header that is
defined by the VICP protocol.
The WaveAce must be assigned a static IPv4 address for remote control; do not use an address from
the DHCP pool.
You can send remote commands to the oscilloscope directly from the WaveStudio® terminal.
WaveStudio can be downloaded free at teledynelecroy.com/support/softwaredownload, under
Oscilloscope Software Utilities.
On the Controller
For communication using the VICP (LAN) interface, no additional driver software is required when
using WaveStudio. For VICP communication with other applications that use the VISA standard, NI-VISA
must be installed, along with Teledyne LeCroy's 'VICP Passport'. The Passport extends VISA to support
Teledyne LeCroy's VICP protocol. The VICP passport may be downloaded from teledynelecroy.com.
Also see the application brief LAB_WM827 Understanding VICP and the VICP Passport on Teledyne
LeCroy's website for more information.
On the Instrument
1. Attach an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the rear of the scope to an Ethernet port on the
controller machine or a connection device on the same network as the controller.
