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, or GP-IB (optional feature) interface or transfer measurement data to a computer with a dedicated
application*. To use communications features, you must first configure the instrument’s communications set-
tings.
For more information about how to control the instrument using commu-
nications commands, see the Communications Command Instruction
Manual*.

• Use a common ground for both the instrument and the computer. Use of different ground cir-
cuits will result in a potential difference between the instrument's ground and the computer'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 instru-
ment 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.
