E5810B User’s Guide 11
The E5810B and the connected instruments can be placed
anywhere on the network (rather than with a particular
controller or a server computer system). This includes
networks which span different geographic locations, such as
when networked computer systems are located at several
different sites.
GPIB, USB, and RS- 232 instruments can be located where
they are most convenient. You can also have more than one
E5810B on a network, providing clusters of GPIB, USB, and
RS- 232 instruments at different locations.
