Agilent E5810A LAN/GPIB
Gateway
Features
• Remote access and control of
GPIB instruments via the LAN
• Easy setup and use via digital
display and Web browser
Best for
• Connection to remote GPIB and
RS-232 instrumentation
• Shared test systems
Remote access and collaboration
with GPIB instruments via your LAN
The E5810A can use DHCP, if available,
to automatically configure necessary
network parameters, including its IP
address. The gateway can be controlled
from multiple locations and by multiple
users via your LAN, so it is easy to
share control of instruments from
locations worldwide.
For easy remote access enter the IP
address from the digital display as the
URL in your Web browser and gain
access to connected GPIB and RS-232
instruments. Then use your browser
to send instrument commands
interactively and quickly see your
measurement results. Use the digital
display and LEDs to check the IP
address and troubleshoot locally.
For programming capability you
have access with the latest version
of IO Libraries suite, version 14.1, to
program in all standard development
environments.
System use
For system environments, the E5810A
gateway can be rack mounted. The
rack mount kit (Option 100) allows
two devices to be placed side-by-side
in one rack width. With its built-in
power supply, there are no additional
power modules to mount.
