For IEEE 488, enter the bus address or IEEE 488 device name assigned to
the instrument.
−
For Ethernet, enter the IP address or name.
Reference Note: The communications settings must correspond to the instrument's
interface configuration. Refer to the appropriate user’s manual(s), as needed.
Reference Note: A Net232 Ethernet/RS-232 Converter is required for TempScan,
MultiScan and ChartScan Ethernet Applications. The Net232 User’s Guide

ScanServer now attempts to communicate with and identify an instrument using
the configuration settings for the New Node.
If communications and identification are successful, a “T” icon and text
(indicating the type of instrument found) are displayed in the project window.
In this screen shot, the created node (TS1) is displayed. ScanServer has detected a
device at COM2 and identified the device as a TempScan/1100.
