Using LAN

Advantages of LAN Connections

You can connect the Agilent 4287A to a LAN, which allows you to take advantage of

several additional functions:

• You can transfer files in the 4287A to an external computer, or vice versa, without

having to use floppy disks.

• You can use an external computer, regardless of whether it’s equipped with a GPIB

interface card, to interactively send GPIB commands to the 4287A, thereby achieving

simple remote control.

NOTE Programs cannot control the 4287A through LAN connections.
