Chapter 4 Features and Functions

Remote Interface Configuration - 34972A

This section gives information on configuring the instrument for remote

interface communication. For more information on configuring the

instrument from the front panel, see “To Configure the Remote

Interface” starting on page 53. For more information on the SCPI

commands available to program the instrument over the remote

interface, see the Agilent 34970A/34972A Programmer’s Reference Help.

All of these menu items are accessed under the top-level menu:

LAN INTERFACE

Enabling and Disabling LAN Connectivity

You can enable or disable the LAN connectivity. If you are not

controlling the instrument via LAN, it is a good idea to disable LAN

connectivity in order to prevent others from connecting to your

instrument over the LAN.

• Front-Panel Operation:

LAN ENABLED/DISABLED

Determining the Status of LAN Connectivity

You can determine whether you are connected to the LAN. This menu

item simply indicates the status; it does not allow you to connect. If your

instrument loses LAN connectivity, it may take up to 30 seconds for the

LXI FAULT message to appear.

• Front-Panel Operation:

STAT:CONNECTED/LXI FAULT
