Remote communication

The

Remote dialog is where you can select a network communication protocol, establish network connections,

and configure the Remote Control Assistant log. The choice of communication protocols is limited to TCPIP and
GPIB.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
• GPIB is an option and requires a GPIB card to be installed in a card slot at the rear of the oscilloscope.

• The instrument uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as its addressing protocol. Therefore, it

is not necessary to set up an IP address if your network supports DHCP. If it does not, you can assign a
static address in the standard Windows 2000 network setup menu.

The Remote Control Assistant monitors communication between your PC and oscilloscope when you are
operating the instrument remotely. You can log all events, or errors only. This log can be invaluable when you are
creating and debugging remote control applications.

Remote Communication Setup

If you are connecting the oscilloscope to a network, first contact your Information Systems administrator. If you
are connecting the oscilloscope directly to your PC, connect a GPIB or Ethernet cable between them.

1. In the menu bar touch

Utilities, then Utilities Setup... in the drop-down menu.

2. Touch

the

Remote tab.

3. Make

Port selection: TCPIP (transmission control protocol/Internet protocol) or GPIB (general purpose

interface bus). If you do not have a GPIB card installed, the GPIB selection will not be accessible.

4. If you are using GPIB, set a GPIB address by touching inside the

GPIB Address field and enter an address.

5. Press

the

Net Connections button; the Windows Network and Dial-up Connections window appears.

6. Touch

Make New Connection and use the Windows Network Connection Wizard to make a new connection.

Or, touch Local Area Connection to reconfigure the oscilloscope's connection if it is already connected to the
network.
