Getting Started
Using LAN
Unix TELNET Example
To connect to the instrument with host name myInstrument and port number 7778, enter the following
command on the command line: telnet myInstrument 5023
When you connect to the signal generator, the UNIX window will display a welcome message and a SCPI
command prompt. The instrument is now ready to accept your SCPI commands. As you type SCPI
commands, query results appear on the next line. When you are done, break the TELNET connection using
an escape character. For example, Ctrl -],where the control key and the ] are pressed at the same time. The
following example shows TELNET commands:
$ telnet myinstrument 5023
Trying....
Connected to signal generator
Escape character is ‘^]’.

Using FTP
FTP allows users to transfer files between the signal generator and any computer connected to the LAN. For
example, you can use FTP to download instrument screen images to a computer. When logged onto the
signal generator with the FTP command, the signal generator’s file structure can be accessed. Figure 1-5
shows the FTP interface and lists the directories in the signal generator’s user level directory.
NOTE File access is limited to the signal generator’s /user directory.
