50 Agilent InfiniiVision 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide
2 Setting Up
4 On the oscilloscope, verify that the controller interface is enabled:
a Press the Utility button.
b Using the softkeys, press I/O and Control.
c Ensure the box next to LAN is selected ( ). If not ( ), use the
Entry knob to select LAN; then, press the Control softkey again.
5 Configure the oscilloscope's LAN interface:
a Press the Configure softkey until "LAN" is selected.
b Press the LAN Settings softkey.
c Press the Addresses softkey. Use the IP Options softkey and the
Entry knob to select DHCP, AutoIP, or netBIOS. Use the Modify
softkey (and the other softkeys and the Entry knob) to enter the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, and DNS IP values. When you are
done, press the return (up arrow) softkey.
d Press the Domain softkey. Use the Modify softkey (and the other
softkeys and the Entry knob) to enter the Host name and the
Domain name. When you are done, press the return (up arrow)
softkey.
Using the GPIB Interface
1 Connect a GPIB cable from the controller PC's GPIB interface to the
"GPIB" port on the back of the oscilloscope.
2 On the oscilloscope, verify that the controller interface is enabled:
a Press the Utility button.
b Using the softkeys, press I/O and Control.
c Use the Entry knob to select "GPIB"; then, press the Control softkey
again.
Ensure the box next to GPIB is selected ( ). If not ( ), use the
Entry knob to select GPIB; then, press the Control softkey again.
3 Configure the oscilloscope's GPIB interface:
a Press the Configure softkey until "GPIB" is selected.
b Use the Entry knob to select the Address value.
