Using IO Interfaces
Using LAN
Using VISA Assistant
Use the VISA Assistant, available with the Keysight IO Library versions M and earlier, to
communicate with the signal generator over the LAN interface. However, you must manually configure
the VISA LAN client. Refer to the Help menu for instructions on configuring and running the VISA
Assistant program.
1. Run the IO Config program.
2. Click on TCPIP0 in the Available Interface Types text box.
3. Click the Configure button. Then Click OK to use the default settings.
4. Click on TCPIP0 in the Configured Interfaces text box.
5. Click Edit...
6. Click the Edit VISA Config... button.
7. Click the Add device button.
8. Enter the TCPIP address of the signal generator. Leave the Device text box empty.
9. Click the OK button in this form and all subsequent forms to exit the IO Config program.
If You Have Problems
1. Verify the signal generator's IP address is valid and that no other instrument is using the IP
address.
2. Switch between manual LAN configuration and DHCP using the front panel LAN Config softkey and
run the ping program using the different IP addresses.
NOTE
For Keysight IO Libraries versions M and earlier, you must manually configure the VISA LAN
client in the IO Config program if you want to use the VISA Assistant to verify LAN
configuration. Refer to the IO Libraries Installation Guide for information on configuring IO
interfaces. The IO Config program interface is shown in Figure 2-4 on page 43.
