Chapter 5 Setting Measurement Conditions
Have you completed the LAN setting before connection?
The LAN setting is initialized when all the settings for communications have been made.
Be sure to complete this LAN setting before you connect the instrument to the network.
When you edit the settings while the instrument is connected to the network, you may ac-
cidentally send illegal address information to the network. For example, you may select
the same IP address as that of another instrument on the network.
Is the LAN cable connected properly?
When you make one-to-one connection between the instrument and a PC, you must use
a cross cable.
The short cable of the straight-cross converter supplied with the 9642 LAN CABLE is a
cross cable. The connector is a straight male-female converter.
The cable might not be connected to the connector properly. Remove the cable and then
connect it again.
Have you set the IP address of the PC correctly?
Choose [Run] from the Start menu. Type [ipconfig /all] and click [Enter]. Doing so will
enable you to get the IP address of the PC's network interface, subnet mask, and gateway
address.
When the IP address setting is not correct
Choose [Settings]-[Control Panels] from the Start menu.
Double-click the [Network] icon to get the Network Properties dialog box.
Edit the IP address setting.
Can the instrument communicate with the PC?
If the IP addresses of the instrument and the PC are correct, check to see whether the in-
strument receives signals from the PC using the ping protocol.
Choose [Programs]-[Accessories]-[Command Prompt] from the Start menu.
When the cursor starts blinking, type [ping < IP address of the host you want to check
>].
If the IP address can be obtained from DNS by providing the host name, you can type in
the host name instead of the IP address.
For example, if the IP address of the instrument is 192.168.1.2, type [ping 192.168.1.2]
and press Enter. If the screen display is as shown below, the instrument and the PC are
communicating properly. "Time" represents how long it took for the instrument and the PC
to communicate.
Pinging 192.168.1.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.1.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.1.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.1.2: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=32
If the screen display is as shown above, the instrument and the PC are not communicating
properly. Check the cable connection again.

To ensure safe transmission, disconnect all USB devices except the Memory HiLogger
from the PC before carrying out measurement with the Logger Utility.
Do not unplug the USB cable of the Memory HiLogger or switch off the power during mea-
surement. Communication from the Logger Utility will be interrupted (this applies even to
loggers which are not measuring when multiple sets of Memory HiLoggers are connected).
Note) Communication may be interrupted, but the Memory HiLogger will continue to carry
out measurement.
If you have accidentally switched off the power to interrupt the communication, re-connect
the Memory HiLogger which cannot be communicated.
