Using HP/Agilent VEE Over Socket LAN
(There is a VEE example program provided on the documentation CD-ROM.)
(There is a LabView example program provided on the documentation CD-ROM.)
To control your instrument via socket LAN using VEE, click on the VEE menu titled "I/O."
Then select “To/From Socket” and position the I/O object box on the screen. Fill in the
following fields:
Connect Port: 5025
Host Name: <your_hostname>
Timeout: 15
For faster troubleshooting, you may want to set the timeout to a smaller number. If the host
name you enter does not work, try using the IP address of your instrument (example:
191.108.43.5). Using the IP address rather than the hostname may also be faster. See
Figure 12 for an example of an VEE screen.
NOTE
Changing the host name in the instrument does not change your LAN system’s
representation of the host name. You must work through your local system administrator to
change the host name on your LAN system.
