5 You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to
communicate with your instrument, or you can program your
instrument using the various programming environments. You
can also use the Web browser on your computer to connect to the
instrument as described under “Connecting to the Web Server”.
Connecting to the Web Server
Your Agilent N6705A DC Power Analyzer has a built-in Web server
that lets you control it directly from an internet browser on your
computer. Up to two simultaneous connections are allowed. With
additional connections, performance will be reduced.
With the Web server, you can access the front panel control functions
including the LAN configuration parameters. This is a convenient
way to communicate with the DC Power Analyzer without using I/O
libraries or drivers.
NOTE
The built-in Web server only operates over the LAN interface. It requires Internet
Explorer 6+, Netscape 6.2+, or Firefox2+. You also need the Java (Sun) Plug-in.
This is included in the Java Runtime Environment. Refer to Sun Microsystem’s
website. If you are using Internet Explorer 7, the tab functionality does not work
with multiple connections. Open a separate browser window for each connection.
The Web server is enabled when shipped. To launch the Web server:
1 Open the internet browser on your computer.
2 Enter the instrument’s hostname or IP address into the browser’s
Address field to launch the Web server. The following home page
will appear:
3 Click on the Browser Web Control button in the navigation bar
on the left to begin controlling your instrument.
