Remote Communication; Remote Communication Setup - LeCroy 8 Zi Series Getting Started Manual

Remote Communication

From the Remote tab on the Utilities dialog, you can set up remote
communication. You can select a network communication protocol,
establish network connections, and configure the Remote Control
Assistant log from the Remote dialog. The choice of communication
protocols is limited to TCPIP and GPIB.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
• GPIB is an option and requires a GPIB card to be installed in a card
slot at the rear of the oscilloscope.
• 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 2000 network setup
menu.
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 a GPIB or Ethernet cable between them.
1. Touch Utilities → Utilities Setup on the menu bar.
2. Touch the Remote tab.
3. Make a Port selection: TCPIP (transmission control
protocol/Internet protocol) or GPIB (general purpose interface bus).
If you do not have a GPIB card installed, the GPIB selection will not
be accessible.
4. If you are using GPIB, set a GPIB address by touching inside the GPIB
Address data entry field and enter an address.
