Features
• Remote access and control of
GPIB instruments via the LAN
• Easy setup and use via digital
display and web browser
Best for
• Connection to remote GPIB
and RS-232 instrumentation
• Shared test systems
Remote access and collaboration
with GPIB instruments via your
LAN
The E5810A can use DHCP, if available, to
automatically confi gure necessary network
parameters, including its IP address. The
gateway can be controlled from multiple
locations and by multiple users via your
LAN, so it is easy to share control of
instruments from locations worldwide.
For easy remote access, enter the IP
address from the digital display as the URL
in your web browser and gain access to
connected GPIB and RS-232 instruments.
Then use your browser to send instrument
commands interactively, and quickly see
your measurement results. Use the digital
display and LEDs to check the IP address
and troubleshoot locally.
With IO Libraries Suite 15.0 or higher, you
are able to program the instruments in all
standard development environments.
System use
For system environments, the E5810A
gateway can be mounted on a rack. The
rack mount kit (Option 100) allows two
devices to be placed side-by-side in one
rack width. With its built-in power supply,
there are no additional power modules to
mount.
