Remote Interface Configuration; Connectivity Software And Product Cds - Agilent Technologies 33220A User Manual

Remote Interface Configuration

This section gives information on configuring the function generator for
remote interface communication. For information on configuring the
instrument from the front panel, see "To Configure the Remote Interface"
starting on page 48. For information on the SCPI commands available to
program the function generator over the remote interface, see chapter 4,
"Remote Interface Reference" starting on page 147.
The Agilent 33220A supports remote interface communication using a
choice of three interfaces: GPIB, USB, and LAN. All three interfaces are
"live" at power up. This section describes some interface configuration
parameters that you may need to set on your function generator.
• GPIB Interface. You need only set the GPIB address for the
function generator and connect it to your PC using a GPIB cable.
• USB Interface. There is nothing to configure on your function
generator. Just connect the function generator to the PC with a USB
cable.
• LAN Interface. By default, DHCP is On, which may enable network
communication over the LAN interface. You may need to set several
configuration parameters as described in the LAN configuration
sections that follow.

Connectivity Software and Product CDs

The Agilent 33220A is shipped with two CDs:
• Agilent Automation-Ready CD: This CD contains the Agilent IO
Libraries Suite software, which must be installed to enable remote-
interface operations. The CD auto-starts and provides information on
installing the software. Refer to the Agilent Technologies USB/LAN/
GPIB Connectivity Guide, which is provided on this CD-ROM, for
additional background information.
• Agilent 33220A Product-Reference CD: This CD contains the
33220A instrument drivers, the Agilent Intuilink Waveform Editor
software, the complete set of Agilent 33220A product manuals, and
programming examples. The CD auto-starts and provides a Welcome
page with instructions.
