Remote Control
You can control the instrument remotely in two ways. To program the instrument via SCPI, use Keysight IO Libraries.
To control the instrument via a simulated front panel, use the instrument's Web interface.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite
Keysight IO Libraries Suite is a collection free instrument control software that automatically discovers instruments
and allows you to control instruments over the LAN, USB, GPIB, RS-232, and other interfaces. For more information,
or to download IO Libraries, go to www.keysight.com/find/iosuite.
E36100B Series Web interface
You can monitor control the instrument from a Web browser by using the instrument's Web interface. To connect,
simply enter the instrument's IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar and hit Enter.
If you see an error indicating 400: Bad Request, that is related to an issue with "cookies" in your Web browser. To
avoid this issue, either start the Web interface by using the IP address (not host name) in the address bar), or clear
cookies from your browser immediately before starting the Web interface.
Check the checkbox below the picture of the instrument to enable an indicator on the instrument's front panel. This
is helpful if you have several E36100B Series instruments and you wish to identify the one to which you are
connected.
The Configure LAN tab on the top allows you to change the instrument's LAN parameters; exercise caution when
doing so, as you may interrupt your ability to communicate with the instrument.
