Interactive IO has a default timeout value set (5000 ms.), which may
not be long enough for your particular application. To change that
default, go to Interact > Options, edit the Timeout value, and click
OK.
Communicate with Instruments Using Telnet
You can use the Interactive IO utility within Connection Expert, VISA
Assistant, or the Telnet utility to verify communication with instruments
via the LAN. This section gives guidelines to communicate with your
instruments using the Telnet utility.
1 Display the instrument’s Welcome Page.
2 Find the SCPI Telnet Port for this instrument. For many Agilent
instruments, you can find this port number by clicking Advanced
information on the Welcome page. For most Agilent products, the
SCPI Telnet Port is 5024.
3 Open a DOS window. (On Windows XP, click Start > All Programs
> Accessories > Command Prompt.)
4 Optionally, test your connection by typing:
ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of the product. If the
connection is established, you will see several status lines indicating
replies from the instrument to the ping command. Otherwise, you
will see the message Request timed out.
NOTE
Communication with installed LAN instruments was established in Run
Agilent Connection Expert if the instruments were visible and verified
in the Connection Expert explorer view. Therefore, this is an optional
step you can use to verify communication with instruments.
