Using the Web Server
You can communicate with the signal generator using the Web Server. This service uses TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) to communicate with the signal generator over the
internet.
The Web Server uses a client/server model where the client is the web browser on your PC or workstation
and the server is the signal generator. When you enable the Web Server, you can access a web page that
resides on the signal generator.
The Web-Enabled ESG web page, shown in Figure 3-7, provides general information on your signal
generator and a means to control the instrument by using a remote front-panel interface or using SCPI
(Standard Communication for Programmable Instruments) commands. The web page also has links to
Agilent’s products, support, manuals, and website.
NOTE The Web Server service is compatible with the latest version of the Microsoft© Internet
Explorer web browser.
