Agilent E5810A LAN/GPIB
Take advantage of LAN technology for
your GPIB instruments and test systems
Remote access and collaboration with GPIB
instruments via your LAN
The Agilent E5810A LAN/GPIB gateway provides a high-performance
solution for remote access of GPIB and RS-232 test instruments over
your standard LAN.
The Agilent 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 the control of instruments from
locations worldwide.
Remote access of GPIB and RS-232 instruments with the E5810A is
easy. First, enter its IP address (as displayed on the gateway) into any
Web browser to gain access to the connected instruments via E5810A.
Then, use your Web browser to send instrument commands interactively
and you are able to view your measurement results right away. You can
use the digital display and LEDs to check the IP address and trouble-
shoot locally.
You can access programming capability in all standard development
environments with the latest version of IO Libraries Suite.
