Starting ParBERT for the First Time Configuring ParBERT
78 Agilent 81250 ParBERT Installation Guide, February 2002
Local mode Local mode (case a) is used, if the system is operated from the ParBERT
controller. This refers to the following configurations:
Figure 48 ParBERT With External Controller
Figure 49 Configuration With Embedded Controller
Local mode starts both the Agilent 81250 firmware server and the user
interface.
If the system is operated via LAN (case b), the controller has to be put
into controlled mode and the user PC into remote mode. For
configuration examples see ”Operating ParBERT via the LAN” on
page 26.
Controlled mode Controlled mode mode starts the Agilent 81250 firmware server only. It is
used if the hardware shall be controlled by the built-in or external
controller, but the user interface shall run on a remote computer. The
system can then be operated via GPIB or LAN.
Remote mode This mode starts the Agilent 81250 user interface only. It is used on a
remote computer to operate an Agilent 81250 firmware server which is in
controlled mode.
When you are clicking the mode buttons, the checkboxes indicate which
software components will be started.
