E5810 Description
E5810 Software/Firmware
Using E5810 Web
Access
Since the E5810 is Web-enabled, you can communicate with the E5810
from a supported Web browser. The E5810 supports Internet Explorer 4.0
or higher and Netscape 4.7 and higher. Typing in the E5810 IP address (or
E5810 hostname, if known) on your Web browser address line and then
pressing the
Enter key displays the E5810 Welcome page.
You can use the Web access to configure the E5810 and to communicate
with GPIB and/or RS-232 instruments. For example, using the
Configuring
your E5810 LAN/GPIB Gateway
page of the E5810 interface, you can view
and modify the configuration of the E5810. Or, you can communicate with
installed GPIB and/or RS-232 instruments using the
Find and Control
Instruments Connected to your E5810
page of the interface. See Chapter 3 -
Using E5810 Web Access for information on E5810 Web access.
Using a Supported
Programming
Language
To use applications that require the Agilent IO Libraries, you must install and
configure the Agilent IO Libraries on each PC to be used for programming.
Then, you can program connected instruments using a supported
programming language (such as C or Visual Basic) using the Agilent Virtual
Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) or Standard Instrument Control
Language (SICL). See Appendix B - Using the Agilent IO Libraries for more
information on the Agilent IO Libraries.
