Remote communication
The Remote dialog is where you can select a network communication protocol,
establish network connections, and configure the Remote Control Assistant log.
The choice of communication protocols is currently limited to TCPIP.
Note: The instrument uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as its
addressing protocol. Therefore, it is not necessary to set up an IP address if your
network supports DHCP. If it does not, you can assign a static address in the
standard Windows network setup dialog. Consult with your IT department. The
local firewall may make it difficult for you to do this on your own.
The Remote Control Assistant monitors communication between your PC and
oscilloscope when you are operating the instrument remotely. You can log all
events or errors only. This log can be invaluable when you are creating and
debugging remote control applications.
Remote Communication Setup
If you are connecting the oscilloscope to a network, first contact your Information
Systems administrator. If you are connecting the oscilloscope directly to your PC,
connect an Ethernet cable between them.
