To establish a point-to-point LAN connection
The following procedure describes how to establish a
point-to-point (stand alone) connection to the oscilloscope. This
is useful if you want to control the oscilloscope using a laptop
computer or a stand-alone computer.
1 Install Agilent I/O Libraries Suite from the CD that was
supplied with the oscilloscope. If you do not have the CD you
can download the I/O Libraries Suite from
www.agilent.com/find/iolib.
2 Connect your PC to the oscilloscope using a cross-over LAN
cable, such as Agilent part number 5061-0701 (order
separately).
3 Switch on the oscilloscope power.
4 Press Utility
& I/O. The I/O status will be displayed. Wait for
the LAN Status to indicate that the oscilloscope is “configured”.
This may take a few minutes.
5 Start the Agilent Connection Expert application from the
Agilent I/O Libraries Suite program group.
6 When the Agilent Connection Expert application is
displayed, select Refresh All.
7 Right Click LAN and select Add Instrument.
8 In the Add Instrument window, the LAN line should be
highlighted; select OK.
9 In the LAN Instrument window, select Find Instruments…
10 In the Search for instruments on the LAN window, LAN and
Look up hostnames should be checked.
11 Select the Find Now key. (NOTE: It may take up to three
minutes before the instrument is found. If the instrument is
not found the first time, wait about one minute and try
again.)
12 When the instrument is found, select OK and OK to close the
Add Instrument windows.
Now the instrument is connected and the instrument’s Web
interface may be used.
