SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:HOSTname "<name>"
SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:HOSTname? [{CURRent|STATic}]]
Assigns a hostname to the instrument. A hostname is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated into
an IP address. If Dynamic Domain Name System (Dynamic DNS) is available on your network and your instrument
uses DHCP, the hostname is registered with the Dynamic DNS service at power-on. If DHCP is enabled
(SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DHCP ON), the DHCP server can change the specified hostname.
If you change this setting, you must send SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:UPDate to activate the new
setting.
Parameter Typical
Return
String of up to 15 characters.
Must start with letter (A-Z)
May contain letters, numbers (0-9), or dashes ("-")
Default: "A-34460A-nnnnn" or "A-34461A-nnnnn", where nnnnn is the last five digits of the
instrument's serial number
"LAB1-
34461A"
Define a hostname:
SYST:COMM:LAN:HOST "LAB1-DMM"
SYST:COMM:LAN:UPD
l If no hostname exists, a null string ("") is returned.
l On the 34460A, this requires option 34460A-LAN or option 3446LANU.
l For the query form, specify "CURRent" (default) to read the value currently being used by the instrument. Specify
"STATic" to read the host name currently stored in nonvolatile memory within the instrument (may not be the
actual name used by the instrument if DHCP is enabled).
l This setting is non-volatile; it is not changed by power cycling, a Factory Reset (*RST), or an Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet).
l This parameter is set to its default value when the instrument is shipped from the factory and after
SYSTem:SECurity:IMMediate.
