The status read-only dialog displays system information including serial
number, firmware version, and installed software and hardware options.

Accessing the Status Dialog

Touch UtilitiesUtilities Setup… from the menu bar.

Touch the Status tab.

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.
