Ethernet Interface
Prepare the interface that conforms to the following specifications:
10BASE-T
100BASE-TX
1000BASE-T
Furthermore, use the cable corresponding to each specification.
GPIB Interface
Procure the GPIB interfaces that conform with IEEE 488.2.
VISA
When controlling the MS9740A remotely using the Ethernet port, a
VISA
*1
driver must be installed in the PC controller. We recommend
using NI-VISA™
*2
from National Instruments™ (NI hereafter) as the
VISA driver.
Although a license is generally required to use NI-VISA™, the licensed
NI-VISA™ driver is provided free-of-charge for use when performing
remote control*
1,
*
2
of a MS9740A unit in which the MS9740A-001 GPIB
option has been installed.
The NI-VISA™ driver can be downloaded from the NI website at:
http://sine.ni.com/psp/app/doc/p/id/psp-411
Be sure to comply with the NI license agreement for the usage and
license scope.
Be sure to uninstall the NI-VISA™ driver when disposing of the
MS9740A or transferring it to a third party, etc., or when ceasing to use
NI-VISA™.
*1: Although the NI-VISA™ driver itself can be downloaded
free-of-charge from the web, an implementation license is required
for legal reasons if some requirements are not met. (Check the NI
web page for the detailed requirements.)
