With the M130 option, there are four basic methods to communicate with the power
supply from a PC:
• raw socket interface, sending delimited strings (default delimiter is
)
• application program that utilizes VXI-11 Discovery protocol
• Web browser and the internal Web server, with scripting of Java applets
enabled
• RS232C serial interface

NTERFACE
The essential components of communicating via a raw socket interface are the
socket number, IP address and command delimiter. The default values are: socket =
9221, IP address = 192.168.0.200 (when static IP is enabled), and delimiter = line
feed . All of these items may be changed either via the Web browser (see IP
CONFIGURATION, p. 2-16) or RS232C interfaces (see SCPI command section).
For convenience and to comply with the proposed LXI™ standard, the VISA
resource name is available on the home page of the power supply’s Web server.
2.4.3 VXI-11 P
ROTOCOL
With programs such as Agilent’s I/O Library Suite, or National Instrument’s NI-VISA,
the VXI-11 protocol allows the power supply to be easily configured in a test system.

To communicate with the power supply via the built-in Web server, open a supported
Web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher) and type the IP address of the power
supply in the “Address” field. Tap the
ENTER key to launch the power supply’s
Ethernet Web page interface.
Note: To ensure proper functionality on your Web browser, Sun Microsystems’
Java Runtime Environment must be installed on your PC. Visit
www.java.com to download. Also, set your Web browser’s Security to enable
scripting of Java applets. (In the Tools menu, select Internet Options… and
click the Security tab. At the bottom of the Security window click Custom
level…; in the Reset custom settings drop-down, select Medium and click
Reset and then OK).
