3 Remote Interface Configuration
Remote Interface Configuration Methods
This section gives information on configuring the instrument for remote
interface communication. Complete information on configuration, and on
using SCPI commands to program the instrument over the remote
interface, can be found in the following resources:
• The Agilent Connectivity Guide, at www.agilent.com/find/connectivity.
• The Programmer’s Reference Help file included on the Agilent
34410A/34411A Product Reference CD–ROM.
The Agilent 34410A/34411A multimeters support GPIB, USB, and LAN
interfaces. All three interfaces are enabled at power on. The front panel
Remote annunciator turns on whenever there is activity on the remote
interface.
•GPIB Interface You need only set the GPIB address for the instrument
(the factory default is 22) and connect it to your PC using a GPIB cable
(sold separately).
•USB Interface There is nothing to configure on your instrument for a
USB connection. Just connect the instrument to your PC using the USB
2.0 cable included with the instrument.
•LAN Interface By default, DHCP is enabled on the instrument, which
may enable network communication over the LAN interface
(10BaseT/100BaseTx). You may need to set several configuration
parameters as described in the LAN configuration sections that follow.
NOTE
To easily configure and verify an interface connection between the 34410A/34411A and
your PC, you can use the Agilent IO Libraries Suite (E2094M Agilent IO Libraries for
Windows) or an equivalent. For more information about Agilent's I/O connectivity
software, go to www.agilent.com/find/iolib.
• Agilent IO Libraries Suite for Windows® 98/2000/ME/XP. For more information and to
install this software, see the Automation–Ready CD, which is shipped with your
34410A/34411A.
• To download the latest (and previous) version(s) of this software for Windows®
98/NT/2000/ME/XP from the Web, go to www.agilent.com/find/iolib.
NOTE
For more information on connecting instruments to USB, LAN, and GPIB and how to
configure and troubleshoot these interfaces, refer to the Agilent Connectivity Guide.
• If you have installed the Agilent IO Libraries Suite, you can access the guide from the
Agilent IO Libraries Control icon.
