You can use the instrument’s standard LAN interface to connect it to a computer, which can then control it
remotely. Additionally, you can also control the instrument with communications commands using the LAN,
RS-232C (optional feature), or GP-IB (optional feature) interface or transfer measurement data to a computer
with a dedicated application software*. To use communications features, you must configure the communica-
tions conditions on the instrument.

• Use a common ground for both the instrument and the computer. Use of different ground
circuits will result in a potential difference between the instrument's ground and the com-
puter's ground. If the communications cable is connected while such a potential difference
exists, it may result in equipment malfunction or failure.
• Before connecting or disconnecting any the communications cable, always turn off the
instrument and the computer. Failure to do so could result in equipment malfunction or
damage.
• After connecting the communications cable, tighten the screws on the connector securely.
Failure to secure the connector could result in equipment malfunction or damage.
• For more information about how to control the instrument using communications commands, see the
Communications Command Instruction Manual*.

• Use the LAN, RS-232C, or GP-IB interface. Using multiple interfaces simultaneously may cause the
instrument to malfunction, for example by interrupting communications.
