You can communicate with all 6000 Series oscilloscopes via
LAN, USB, or GPIB. 6000A Series oscilloscopes can also be
controlled using the front panel keys. The 6000L Series
oscilloscopes do not have a keyboard or display, so
communication must be established via LAN, USB, or GPIB.
The Automation Ready CD-ROM provided with the oscilloscope
contains connectivity software to enable communication over
these interfaces. Refer to the instructions provided on the
CD-ROM to install this software on your PC.
Remote commands can be issued via LAN, USB, or GPIB. These
commands are generally used when the oscilloscope is under
program control for automated test and data acquisition.
Information about controlling the oscilloscope through remote
commands is contained in the Programmer's Quick Start
Guide, which is included in the documentation CD-ROM
supplied with this oscilloscope. You can also access this
document online: direct your web browser to
www.agilent.com/find/mso6000 and select Technical Support,
then select Manuals.
All 6000 Series oscilloscopes feature a built-in Web server
(requires software version 4.0 or greater; see
software updating instructions). Using the Web browser you can
set up measurements, monitor waveforms, capture screen
images and operate the oscilloscope remotely.
