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.
Note: GPIB is an option and requires a GPIB card to be installed in a card slot at the rear of the scope.
Note: 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 scope 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.
To Set Up Remote Communication.
If you are connecting the scope to a network, first contact your Information Systems administrator.
If you are connecting the scope 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 a 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 data entry
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 scope's connection if
it is already connected to the network.
