In Auto IP mode, the generator acquires IP address within the range from
⚫
169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, and gets the subnet mask 255.255.0.0
automatically according to the current network configuration.
Tap the AutoIP parameter selection field to select "On" or "Off" to turn the
⚫
AutoIP mode on or off. When DHCP and AutoIP modes are turned on at the
same time, the DHCP mode takes precedence. Therefore, to enable this
mode, set DHCP to "Off".
3. ManualIP
In ManualIP mode, the network parameters of the generator, e.g. IP
⚫
address, are defined by users.
Tap the ManualIP parameter selection field to select "On" or "Off" to turn
⚫
the ManualIP mode on or off. If all the three IP configuration modes are set
to "On", the priority of parameters configuration from high to low is "DHCP",
"AutoIP", and "ManualIP". Therefore, to enable this mode, set DHCP and
AutoIP to "Off".
The format of the IP address is "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn". The range for the first
⚫
segment (nnn) of the address is from 1 to 223 (except 127); and the range
for the other three segments is from 0 to 255. You are recommended to ask
your network administrator for an IP address available.
Tap the IP parameter input field in the LAN setting interface, and then input
⚫
a desired IP address by using the numeric keypad. The setting is stored in
the non-volatile memory and will be loaded automatically at next power-on
if DHCP and AutoIP are set to "Off".
Tip:
If all the three IP configuration modes are set to "On", the priority of
⚫
parameters configuration from high to low is "DHCP", "AutoIP", and
"ManualIP".
The three IP configuration modes cannot be set to "Off" at the same time.

VISA Address
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture), developed by NI (National
Instrument), provides an advanced programming interface to communicate with
various instruments through their bus lines. VISA enables you to communicate with
the instrument in the same way, regardless of the interface type of the instrument
(e.g. GPIB, USB, LAN/Ethernet, or RS232). The GPIB, USB, LAN/Ethernet or RS232
instrument which wants to communicate with VISA is called "resource".
VISA descriptor is the resource name and it describes the accurate name and
location of the VISA resource. If LAN interface is currently used for communication
with the instrument, the VISA descriptor is TCPIP0::192.168.001.102::INSTR.
