Introduction
This instrument supports remote interface communication over three interfaces: GPIB, USB, and LAN.
All three interfaces are "live" at power up. To use the interfaces, you must first install the latest
Keysight IO Libraries Suite from www.keysight.com. Then connect your instrument to your PC.
The front panel IO indicator comes on whenever there is activity on the remote interfaces. The front
panel Lan indicator comes on when the LAN port is connected and configured.
This instrument provides Ethernet connection monitoring. With Ethernet connection monitoring, the
instrument's LAN port is continually monitored, and automatically reconfigured when the instrument is
unplugged for a minimum of 20 seconds and then reconnected to a network
USB Configuration
There are no configurable USB parameters. You can retrieve the USB connect string using the front
panel menu:
Front Panel Menu Reference
Select System\IO\USB
The dialog displays the USB connect string.
GPIB Configuration
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique whole number address between 0
and 30. The instrument ships with the address set to 5. Your computer's GPIB interface card address
must not conflict with any instrument on the interface bus. This setting is non-volatile; it will not be
changed by power cycling or *RST. Use the front panel menu to change the GPIB address:
