Configure the Remote Interface
The instrument supports remote interface communication over three interfaces: GPIB (optional), USB, and LAN. All
three are "live" at power up. The following sections explain remote interface configuration from the instrument front
panel.
Note: Two CDs, provided with your instrument, contain connectivity software to enable communications over the
remote interfaces. See Connectivity Software and Product CDs
GPIB Configuration
You need only select a GPIB address.
1. Select the "I/O" menu.
Press and then press the I/O Config and GPIB Settings softkeys. Then press the GP-IB Address softkey.
2. Press Enter when done if you are using the numeric keypad
USB Configuration
The USB interface requires no front panel configuration parameters. Just connect the instrument to your PC with the
appropriate USB cable. The interface will configure itself. The instrument supports both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0.
LAN Configuration
There are several parameters that you might need to set to establish network communication using the LAN interface.
Primarily, you will need to establish an IP address. You might need to contact your network administrator for help in
establishing communication with the LAN interface.

Press System and then I/O Config.
2. Select the LAN Settings menu.
