Connecting Instruments to LAN

Step 6: Configure the LAN Interface

Steps to Configure

the LAN Interface

For an application that uses VISA (such as VISA Assistant) to communicate

with instruments via the LAN, you must configure the

TCPIP LAN Client

interface by using the

IO Config utility. Suggested steps to configure the

TCPIP LAN Client interface follow.

Open the IO Config Utility. To configure a TCPIP LAN Client interface,

click the Agilent IO Libraries Control icon (blue

IO icon on the Windows

taskbar) and click

Run IO Config to display the IO Config main screen.

Display the TCPIP LAN Client Dialog Box. From the main screen,

highlight the

TCPIP LAN Client (LAN Instruments) menu item and

then click

Configure to display the LAN Client dialog box.

The I/O Config main screen allows

you to select and configure ASRL

(Serial), GPIB, TCP/IP, USB, and

VXI interfaces.

For this example, we will configure

TCP/IP interfaces.
