2 Features and Functions SCPI Language Conventions Throughout this guide, the following conventions are used for SCPI command syntax for remote interface programming: • Braces ( { } ) enclose the parameter choices for a given command string. The braces are not sent with the command string. • A vertical bar ( | ) separates multiple parameter choices for a given command string. • Triangle brackets ( < > ) indicate that you must specify a value for the enclosed parameter.
Features and Functions 2 The Analog Bus relays (numbered s911, s912, s913, etc.) on the multiplexer and matrix modules are ignored if they are included in a range of channels. An error will be generated if an Analog Bus relay is specified as the first or last channel in a range of channels. For example, the following command closes all valid channels between channel 30 (slot 1) and channel 5 (slot 2). In addition, this command closes Analog Bus relay 911 on the module in slot 1 (Bank 1).
2 Features and Functions General Measurement Configuration This section contains general information to help you configure the instrument for making measurements. Since these parameters are used by several measurement functions, the discussion is combined into one common section. Refer to the later sections in this chapter for more information on parameters that are specific to each measurement function.
2 Features and Functions • To view the readings in memory, use the View key (the readings are not erased when you read them). Each time you initiate a new DMM- only scan, the instrument will clear the previous set of readings from memory. Remote Interface Operation: • You can use the MEASure? command without specifying a to quickly take a stand- alone DMM reading. Note, however, that with the MEASure? command, most measurement parameters are set to their default values.
2 Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: • To configure the measurement parameters and add a channel to the scan list, use the Channel (Configure) key. • To initiate a scan and store all readings in memory, press the Scan (Measure) key. If you press the Scan (Measure) key with no scan list defined, the instrument initiates a DMM- only measurement (see “Stand- Alone DMM Mode” below). • To stop a scan in progress, press and hold the Scan (Measure) key.
Features and Functions 2 Analog Buses The 34980A provides four 2- wire internal Analog Buses for easier signal routing. You can route your measurements directly to the internal DMM using the 34980A multiplexer and matrix modules, or you can connect to external signals via the Analog Bus connector located on the instrument’s rear panel (see connector pinout below).
2 Features and Functions Measurement Functions The following table shows which DMM measurement functions are supported by each of the multiplexer modules. Note that similar considerations must be taken into account on the 34931A, 34932A, and 34933A matrix modules. Since the matrix modules cannot be incorporated into a scan list, you must use the Stand- Alone DMM Mode for these modules.
Features and Functions 2 Measurement Range You can allow the instrument to automatically select the measurement range using autoranging or you can select a fixed range using manual ranging. Autoranging is convenient because the instrument decides which range to use for each measurement based on the input signal. For fastest scanning operation, use manual ranging on each measurement (some additional time is required for autoranging since the instrument has to make a range selection).
2 Features and Functions Measurement Resolution Resolution is expressed in number of digits the internal DMM can measure or display on the front panel. You can set the resolution to 4, 5, or 6 full digits, plus a “½” digit which can be “0” or “1”. To increase the measurement accuracy and improve noise rejection, select 6½ digits. To increase the measurement speed, select 4½ digits. • For ac voltage measurements, the resolution is fixed at 6½ digits.
Features and Functions 2 The following command selects the 1 A range with 6½ digits of resolution on channel 2041 (current measurements are allowed only on channels 41 through 44 on the 34921A). MEAS:CURR:AC? 1,1E-6,(@2041) You can also select the resolution using the SENSe commands. For example, the following command specifies a 2- wire ohms measurement with 100Ω of resolution on channel 1003.
2 Features and Functions • The following table shows the relationship between integration time, measurement resolution, number of digits, and number of bits. Relationship between integration time, resolution, digits, and bits Integration Time Resolution Digits Bits 0.02 PLC 0.2 PLC 1 PLC 2 PLC 10 PLC 20 PLC 100 PLC 200 PLC < 0.0001 x Range < 0.00001 x Range < 0.000003 x Range < 0.0000022 x Range < 0.000001 x Range < 0.0000008 x Range < 0.0000003 x Range < 0.
2 Features and Functions Autozero When autozero is enabled (default), the instrument internally disconnects the input signal following each measurement, and takes a zero reading. It then subtracts the zero reading from the preceding reading. This prevents offset voltages present on the instrument’s input circuitry from affecting measurement accuracy. When autozero is disabled, the instrument takes one zero reading and subtracts it from all subsequent measurements.
2 Features and Functions Trigger Delay In some applications, you want to allow the input to settle before taking a reading or for pacing a burst of readings. You can add a trigger delay, which adds a delay between the trigger signal and the first sample taken by the internal DMM (not used in Scanning Mode). The programmed trigger delay overrides the default trigger delay that the instrument automatically adds to the measurement.
2 Features and Functions Automatic Trigger Delays If you do not specify a trigger delay, the instrument selects a delay for you. The delay is determined by the function, range, integration time, and ac filter setting as shown below. DC Voltage, Thermocouple, DC Current (for all ranges): Integration Time Trigger Delay PLC > 1 PLC ≤ 1 2.0 ms 1.
2 Features and Functions Safety Interlock The Safety Interlock feature prevents connections to the Analog Buses if no terminal block or properly- wired cable is connected to a module (available on multiplexer and matrix modules only). Normally, if you attempt to connect to the Analog Buses without a terminal block or properly- wired cable connected, an error is generated. You can, however, temporarily disable errors generated by the Safety Interlock feature.
Features and Functions 2 User-Defined Channel Labels You can assign user- defined labels to any channel, including Analog Bus channels on the multiplexer and matrix modules. User- defined channel labels are available for identification purposes only and cannot be used in place of a channel number within a command string. • When shipped from the factory, each channel is assigned a unique factory- default label (cannot be overwritten).
2 Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: Channel (Configure) > CHANNEL LABEL To define the channel label, press the arrow keys to move the cursor to a specific position and then turn the knob to select the desired letter or number. To clear the channel label on the selected channel, change each character to “ ^ ” (starting with the rightmost character) and then press the left arrow key to move to the next character.
Features and Functions 2 2-Wire Versus 1-Wire Mode You can configure the 34923A, 34925A, and 34933A modules for 2- wire (differential) or 1- wire (single ended) measurements. If you change the module configuration, you must cycle power on the 34980A to activate the new setting. • To determine whether the module is in the 2- wire or 1- wire configuration, check the module description shown on the front panel when the module is selected, or send the SYSTem:CTYPe? or SYSTem:CDEScription? command.
2 Features and Functions Analog Bus and Internal DMM Considerations This section provides important environmental and electrical considerations that can affect mainframe operation. Environmental Operating Conditions The 34980A mainframe, including the optional internal DMM, is designed to operate in a temperature range of 0 °C to +55 °C with non- condensing humidity. The maximum humidity is 80% at 40 °C or higher. Do not use in locations where conductive dust or electrolytic salt dust may be present.
Features and Functions 2 Electrical Operating Conditions WARN IN G To avoid electric shock, turn off the 34980A and disconnect or de-energize all field wiring to the modules and the Analog Bus connector before removing any module or slot cover. Transients The Analog Buses and the optional internal DMM are designed to safely withstand occasional transient overvoltages up to 1000 Vpeak. Typically, these transient overvoltages result from switching inductive loads or from nearby lightning strikes.
2 Features and Functions Temperature Measurement Configuration This section contains information to help you configure the instrument for making temperature measurements. The table below shows the thermocouple, RTD, and thermistor types for which the instrument supports direct measurements. Temperature transducers supported Thermocouple Types * RTD Types Thermistor Types B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T R0 = 49Ω to 2.1 kΩ α = 0.00385 (DIN/IEC 751) * α = 0.00391 † 2.
2 Features and Functions Thermocouple Measurements • The instrument supports the following thermocouple types: B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T using ITS- 90 software conversions. The default is a J- Type thermocouple. • Thermocouple measurements require a reference junction temperature. For the reference junction temperature, you can use an internal measurement on the module (34921A only), an external thermistor or RTD measurement, or a known fixed junction temperature.
2 Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: To select the thermocouple function on the active channel, choose the following items. DMM or Channel (Configure) > TEMPERATURE > PROBE TYPE > THERMOCOUPLE Then, use the knob to select the thermocouple type from the list. THERMOCOUPLE TYPE > B|E|J|K|N|R|S|T If desired, you can enable the thermocouple check feature on the active channel (opens are reported as “OPEN T/C”).
Features and Functions 2 RTD Measurements • The instrument supports RTDs with α = 0.00385 (DIN/IEC 751) using ITS- 90 software conversions or α = 0.00391 using IPTS- 68 software conversions. The default is α = 0.00385. • The resistance of an RTD is nominal at 0 °C and is referred to as R0. The instrument can measure RTDs with R0 values from 49Ω to 2.1 kΩ. • You can measure RTDs using a 2- wire or 4- wire measurement method. The 4- wire method provides the most accurate way to measure small resistances.
2 Features and Functions The following command sets the nominal resistance (R0) to 1000Ω on channel 1003. SENS:TEMP:TRAN:FRTD:RES 1000,(@1003) Thermistor Measurements The instrument supports 2.2 kΩ (YSI Series 44004), 5 kΩ (YSI Series 44007), and 10 kΩ (YSI Series 44006) thermistors. Front Panel Operation: To select the thermistor function for the active channel, choose the following items.
2 Features and Functions Voltage Measurement Configuration This section contains information to help you configure the instrument for making voltage measurements. The instrument can measure dc and true RMS ac- coupled voltages on the measurement ranges shown below. 100 mV 1V 10 V 100 V 300 V Autorange DC Input Resistance Normally, the instrument’s input resistance is fixed at 10 MΩ for all dc voltage ranges to minimize noise pickup.
2 Features and Functions AC Low Frequency Filter The instrument uses three different ac filters which enable you to either optimize low- frequency accuracy or achieve faster ac settling times. The instrument selects the slow (3 Hz), medium (20 Hz), or fast (300 Hz) filter based on the input frequency that you specify for the selected channels or the internal DMM. Applies to ac voltage and ac current measurements only.
2 Features and Functions Resistance Measurement Configuration This section contains information to help you configure the instrument for making resistance measurements. Use the 2- wire method for ease of wiring and higher density or use the 4- wire method for improved measurement accuracy. The measurement ranges shown below. 100Ω 1 kΩ 10 kΩ 100 kΩ 1 MΩ 10 MΩ 100 MΩ Autorange Offset Compensation Offset compensation removes the effects of any dc voltages in the circuit being measured.
2 Features and Functions Current Measurement Configuration This section contains information to help you configure the instrument for making current measurements on the 34921A multiplexer module. The module has four fused channels for direct dc and ac current measurements on the ranges shown below. 10 mA 100 mA 1A Autorange Current measurements are allowed only on channels 41 through 44 on the 34921A module.
2 Features and Functions Frequency Measurement Configuration This section contains information to help you configure the instrument for making frequency measurements. Low Frequency Timeout The instrument uses three different timeout ranges for frequency measurements. The instrument selects the slow (3 Hz), medium (20 Hz), or fast (300 Hz) filter based on the input frequency that you specify with this command for the selected channels. Applies to frequency measurements only.
2 Features and Functions Mx+B Scaling The scaling function allows you to apply a gain and offset to readings during a scan or while making measurements in the stand- alone DMM mode. In addition to setting the gain (“M”) and offset (“B”) values, you can also specify a custom measurement label for your scaled readings (RPM, PSI, etc.). You can apply scaling to any multiplexer channels and for any measurement function. Scaling is not allowed with any of the channels on the digital modules.
Features and Functions 2 • The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically set the gain (“M”) to 1 and offset (“B”) to 0. • A Factory Reset (*RST command) turns off scaling and clears the scaling values on all channels. An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) does not clear the scaling values and does not turn off scaling.
2 Features and Functions Scanning The instrument allows you to combine a DMM (either internal or external) with multiplexer channels to create a scan. During a scan, the instrument connects the DMM to the configured multiplexer channels one at a time and makes a measurement on each channel. Any channel that can be “read” by the instrument can also be included in a scan. This includes any combination of temperature, voltage, resistance, current, frequency, or period measurements on multiplexer channels.
Features and Functions 2 • The Analog Bus relays are automatically opened and closed as required during the scan to connect to the internal DMM for the measurement. For example, all 2- wire measurements use the ABus1 (MEAS) relays; for 4- wire measurements, the ABus2 (SENS) relays are used in addition to the ABus1 relays. • When the scan is initiated, the instrument will open all channels in banks that contain one or more channels in the scan list.
2 Features and Functions • At the end of the scan, the last channel that was scanned will be opened (as well as any Analog Bus relays used during the scan). Any channels that were opened during the scan will remain open at the completion of the scan. • If you abort a scan that is running, the instrument will terminate any reading in progress (readings are not cleared from memory).
Features and Functions 2 • To initiate a scan and store all readings in memory, press Scan (Measure). Each time you initiate a new scan, the instrument clears all previously stored readings. If you have not defined a scan list, Scan (Measure) performs an internal DMM scan independent of any channels. • To stop a scan in progress, press and hold Scan (Measure). To Build a Scan List From the Remote Interface • Use the ROUTe:SCAN command to define the list of channels in the scan list.
2 Features and Functions Scan Trigger Source You can configure the event or action that controls the onset of each sweep through the scan list (a sweep is one pass through the scan list): • You can set the instrument’s internal timer to automatically scan at a specific interval. You can also program a time delay between channels in the scan list (see “Channel Delay” on page 53). • You can manually control a scan by repeatedly pressing the Scan (Measure) key from the front panel.
2 Features and Functions • The instrument sets the scan interval to immediate (0 seconds) after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting. Front Panel Operation: Scan (Configure) > INTERVAL > SCAN INTERVAL To initiate the scan and store all readings in memory, press the Scan (Measure) key. Between scan sweeps, “WAITING FOR TRIG” will be displayed on the front panel.
2 Features and Functions Remote Interface Operation: The following program segment configures the instrument for a manual scanning operation. TRIG:SOURCE BUS TRIG:COUNT 2 INIT Select bus (manual) mode Sweep the scan list 2 times Initiate the scan Then, send the *TRG (trigger) command to begin each scan sweep. The *TRG command will not be accepted unless the internal DMM is in the “wait- for- trigger” state. Note: To stop a scan, press and hold the Scan (Measure) key.
2 Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: Scan (Configure) > INTERVAL > EXTERNAL To initiate the scan and store all readings in memory, press the Scan (Measure) key. Between scan sweeps, “WAITING FOR TRIG” will be displayed on the front panel. When a TTL pulse is received, the scan starts and readings are stored in memory. Note: To stop a scan, press and hold the Scan (Measure) key. Remote Interface Operation: The following program segment configures the instrument for an external scan.
2 Features and Functions Sweep Count The sweep count sets the number of sweeps per trigger event during a scan (a sweep is one pass through the scan list). The front- panel sample annunciator (“ *”) turns on during each measurement. Trigger Sweep 1 Sweep 2 Sweep n Trigger ... t Sweep Count (1 to 500,000 sweeps) Sweep count • The sweep count is valid only while scanning. If no channels have been assigned to the scan list, the specified sweep count is ignored (no error is generated).
2 Features and Functions Sample Count The sample count sets the number of auto- triggered samples the internal DMM will take per channel per trigger. The sample count applies to both scanning and stand- alone DMM measurements (with no scan list). The front- panel sample annunciator (“ *”) turns on during each measurement. Trigger Sample Count (1 to 500,000 samples) Trigger t Sample count for Stand-Alone DMM Mode Sweep Count Trigger Sweep 1 Sweep 2 Sweep n Trigger ...
2 Features and Functions • For scanning, the specified sample count sets the number of readings per channel (same for all channels in the scan list). If no channels have been assigned to the scan list, the sample count sets the number of readings per trigger for the internal DMM. • You can specify a sample count in conjunction with a trigger count and a sweep count.
Features and Functions 2 Channel Delay You can control the pacing of a scan sweep by inserting a delay between multiplexer channels in the scan list (useful for high- impedance or high- capacitance circuits). The delay is inserted between the relay closure and the actual measurement on the channel, in addition to any delay that will implicitly occur due to relay settling time. The programmed channel delay overrides the default channel delay that the instrument automatically adds to each channel.
2 Features and Functions • To ensure you are getting the most accurate measurements possible, use care when setting the channel delay less than the default value (automatic). The default channel delay is designed to optimize parameters, such as settling time, for the most accurate measurements. • The CONFigure and MEASure? commands set the channel delay to automatic. A Factory Reset (*RST command) also sets the channel delay to automatic.
Features and Functions 2 AC Voltage, AC Current (for all ranges): AC Filter Channel Delay Slow (3 Hz) Medium (20 Hz) Fast (200 Hz) 7.0 seconds 1.0 second 120 ms Frequency, Period: AC Filter Channel Delay Slow (3 Hz) Medium (20 Hz) Fast (200 Hz) 600 ms 300 ms 100 ms Digital Input, Totalize: Channel Delay 0 seconds Front Panel Operation: Channel (Configure) > CHANNEL DELAY > AUTO Once you have added the specified channel to the scan list, the channel delay choice will be visible in the menu.
2 Features and Functions Reading Format During a scan, the instrument automatically adds a time stamp to all readings and stores them in memory. Each reading is stored with measurement units, time stamp, channel number, and alarm status information. From the remote interface, you can specify which information you want returned with the readings (from the front panel, all of the information is available for viewing). The examples below show a reading in relative and absolute format with all fields enabled.
2 Features and Functions Remote Interface Operation: reading format. Use the following commands to select the FORMat:READing:ALARm ON FORMat:READing:CHANnel ON FORMat:READing:TIME ON FORMat:READing:TIME:TYPE {ABSolute|RELative} FORMat:READing:UNIT ON Non-Sequential Scanning By default, the instrument scans the list of channels in ascending order from slot 1 through slot 8 (channels are reordered as needed).
2 Features and Functions • The scan order setting is stored in volatile memory and the ordered mode will be enabled when power is turned off or after a Factory Reset (*RST command). Remote Interface Operation: ROUTe:SCAN:ORDered {OFF|ON} Viewing Readings Stored in Memory • During a scan, the instrument automatically adds a time stamp to all readings and stores them in memory. You can read the contents of memory at any time, even during a scan. Reading memory is not cleared when you read it.
Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: 2 View > READINGS Remote Interface Operation: The following command retrieves stored readings from memory (the readings are not erased). FETCh? Use the following commands to query the statistics on the readings stored in memory for a specific channel or from the internal DMM. These commands do not remove the data from memory.
2 Features and Functions Monitor Mode In the Monitor mode, the instrument takes readings as often as it can on a single channel or the internal DMM, even during a scan. This feature is useful for troubleshooting your system before a test or for watching an important signal. • Any channel that can be “read” by the instrument can be monitored. This includes any combination of temperature, voltage, resistance, current, frequency, or period measurements on multiplexer channels.
2 Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: DMM or Channel (Measure) For channel monitoring, turn the knob to the desired channel. To stop a Monitor, press the lighted key again. Remote Interface Operation: Use the following command to select between the channel Monitor mode (default) and the internal DMM monitor mode. ROUTe:MONitor:MODE {CHANnel|DMM} The following program segment selects the channel to be monitored (specify only one channel) and enables the Monitor function.
2 Features and Functions System-Related Operations This section gives information on system- related topics such as instrument state storage, error conditions, self- test, and front- panel display control. This information is not directly related to making measurements but is an important part of operating the instrument. Firmware Revision The mainframe, the internal DMM, and each of the plug- in modules has its own microprocessor. You can query each to determine which version of firmware is installed.
Features and Functions 2 Product Firmware Updates As new product features and enhancements become available, you can easily update your mainframe firmware to ensure optimum compatibility. The latest firmware updates are available from the Agilent 34980A product page at www.agilent.com/find/34980a (go to “Software & Firmware Downloads”). Instrument State Storage The instrument has five storage locations in non- volatile memory to store instrument states, numbered 1 through 5.
2 Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: Store/Recall > STORE|RECALL|DELETE|RENAME|AUTO To rename a location, select RENAME. Press the arrow keys to move the cursor to a specific position and then turn the knob to select the desired letter or number. To clear the name of a location, change each character to “ ^ ” (starting with the rightmost character) and then press the left arrow key to move to the next character. To automatically recall a specific location when power is restored, select AUTO.
2 Features and Functions • Errors are retrieved in first- in- first- out (FIFO) order. The first error returned is the first error that was stored. Errors are cleared as you read them. Once you have read all of the interface- specific errors, the errors in the global queue are retrieved. • Errors are cleared as you read them. When you have read all errors from the interface- specific and global error queues, the ERROR annunciator turns off and the errors are cleared.
2 Features and Functions Self-Test A power- on self- test occurs automatically when you turn on the instrument. This limited test assures you that the instrument and all installed plug- in modules are operational. This self- test does not perform the extensive self test described below. A complete self- test actually performs a series of internal tests and takes approximately 20 seconds to execute.
2 Features and Functions • You can display a message on the front panel by sending a command from the remote interface. The instrument can display up to 18 characters on the upper line of the front- panel display; any additional characters are truncated (no error is generated). You can use letters (A- Z), numbers (0- 9), and special characters like “@”, “%”, “*”, etc. Use the “#” character to display a degree symbol (°).
2 Features and Functions Real-Time System Clock During a scan, the instrument stores all readings and alarms with the current time and date (based on a 24- hour clock). • When shipped from the factory, the instrument is set to the current time and date for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). • The clock setting is stored in non- volatile memory, and does not change when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST command), or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Features and Functions 2 Remote Interface Operation: To read the count on either the specified internal DMM relay or module channel relays, send the following commands. DIAG:DMM:CYCLES? 2 DIAG:RELAY:CYCLES? (@1003,1013) To reset the cycle count on the specified module channel relays, send the following command (the instrument must be unsecured).
2 Features and Functions Calibration Overview This section gives a brief introduction to the calibration features of the instrument and plug- in modules. For a more detailed discussion of the calibration procedures, see the Agilent 34980A Service Guide. Calibration Security This feature allows you to enter a security code to prevent accidental or unauthorized calibrations of the instrument. The specified code is used to unsecure the mainframe and all installed modules.
Features and Functions 2 To Secure the Instrument for Calibration You can secure the instrument either from the front panel or over the remote interface. The instrument is secured when shipped from the factory. Once you enter a security code, that code must be used for both front- panel and remote operation. For example, if you secure the instrument from the front panel, you must use that same code to secure it from the remote interface.
2 Features and Functions Calibration Count You can query the instrument to determine how many calibrations have been performed on the entire mainframe, the digital modules, or the internal DMM. Note that your instrument was calibrated before it left the factory. When you receive your instrument, be sure to read the various counts to determine the initial values.
Features and Functions 2 Calibration Message The instrument allows you to store one message in calibration memory in the mainframe, a digital module, or the internal DMM. For example, you can store such information as the date when the last calibration was performed, the date when the next calibration is due, the instrument’s serial number, or even the name and phone number of the person to contact for a new calibration.
2 Features and Functions Remote Interface Configuration This section gives information on configuring the instrument for remote interface communication. For more information on the SCPI commands available to program the instrument over the remote interface, see the Programmer’s Reference Help file included on the Agilent 34980A Product Reference CD- ROM. The CD- ROM is located inside the rear cover of this manual. The Agilent 34980A supports GPIB, USB, and LAN interfaces.
Features and Functions 2 GPIB Interface Each device on the GPIB (IEEE- 488) interface must have a unique address. You can set the instrument’s address to any value between 0 and 30. The address is set to “9” when the instrument is shipped from the factory. • Your computer’s GPIB interface card has its own address. Be sure to avoid using the computer’s address for any instrument on the interface bus.
2 Features and Functions 34980A Web Browser Interface The Agilent 34980A provides a Web Interface which is built into the instrument. You can use this interface over LAN for remote access and control of the instrument via a Java®- enabled Web browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer. To access and use the 34980A Web Interface: 1 Establish a LAN interface connection from your computer to the 34980A. 2 Open your computer’s Web browser.
2 Features and Functions DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for automatically assigning a dynamic IP address to a device on a network. DHCP is typically the easiest way to configure your instrument for remote communication using the LAN interface. If you change the DHCP setting, you must cycle power on the 34980A to activate the new setting. • When DHCP is enabled (factory setting), the instrument will try to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
2 Features and Functions • Dot- notation addresses (“nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn” where “nnn” is a byte value) must be expressed with care, as most web software on the computer will interpret byte values with leading zeros as octal numbers. For example, “255.255.020.011” is actually equivalent to decimal “255.255.16.9” not “255.255.20.11” because “.020” is interpreted as “16” expressed in octal, and “.011” as “9”. To avoid confusion, use only decimal expressions of byte values (0 to 255), with no leading zeros.
2 Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: Utility > REMOTE I/O > LAN > LAN SETTINGS > MODIFY > DHCP OFF > AUTO IP Remote Interface Operation: SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:AUTOip (OFF|ON} Subnet Mask The instrument uses the Subnet Mask to determine if a client IP address is on the same local subnet. When a client IP address is on a different subnet, all packets must be sent to the Default Gateway. Contact your network administrator to determine if subnetting is being used and for the correct Subnet Mask.
2 Features and Functions Front Panel Operation: Utility > REMOTE I/O > LAN > LAN SETTINGS > MODIFY > DHCP OFF > AUTO IP OFF > . . . SUBNET MASK Remote Interface Operation: SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:SMASk Default Gateway A Default Gateway address allows the instrument to communicate with systems that are not on the local subnet. Thus, this is the Default Gateway where packets are sent which are destined for a device not on the local subnet, as determined by the Subnet Mask setting.

Host Name The Host Name is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated into an IP address. If you change the Host Name, you must cycle power on the 34980A to activate the new setting.2 Features and Functions DNS Server The Domain Name Service (DNS) is an Internet service that translates Domain names into IP addresses. Contact your network administrator to determine if DNS is being used and for the correct address. If you change the DNS address, you must cycle power on the 34980A to activate the new setting. • The default DNS Address for the 34980A is “0.0.0.0”. • Dot- notation addresses (“nnn.nnn.nnn.
Features and Functions 2 Domain Name A domain name is a registered name on the Internet, which is translated into an IP address. This feature is available from the remote interface only. If you change the Domain Name, you must cycle power on the 34980A to activate the new setting. • If Dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) is available on your network and your instrument uses DHCP, the Domain Name is registered with the Dynamic DNS service at power- on.
