3 Remote Interface Configuration
This chapter tells how to configure the Keysight 34410A/11A for remote
interface communication. For additional information, refer to the:
• Keysight USB/LAN/GPIB Connectivity Guide for interface configuration
and
troubleshooting information. This manual is found on the Keysight Automation–
Ready CD–ROM or at www.keysight.com/find/connectivity.
• Keysight 34410A/11A/L4411A Programmer’s Reference Help for information on
programming the instrument using SCPI commands. This help file is found on the
Keysight 34410A/11A/L4411A Product Reference CD–ROM.
The Keysight 34410A/11A supports GPIB, USB, and LAN interfaces. All three interfaces
are enabled at power on. The front panel Remote annunciator turns on whenever there
is activity on the remote interface.
• GPIB Interface You need only set the GPIB address for the instrument (the factory
default is 22) and connect it to your PC using a GPIB cable (sold separately).
• USB Interface There is nothing to configure on your instrument for a USB
connection. Just connect the instrument to your PC using the USB 2.0 cable included
with the instrument.
• LAN Interface By default, DHCP is enabled on the instrument, which may enable
network communication over the LAN interface (10BaseT/100BaseTx). You may
need to set several configuration parameters as described in the LAN configuration
sections that follow.
To configure and verify an interface connection between the 34410A/11A and your PC, use
the Keysight IO Libraries Suite (E2094M Keysight IO Libraries for Windows) or an
equivalent. For more information about Keysight's I/O connectivity software, go to
www.keysight.com/find/iolib.
• Keysight IO Libraries Suite for Windows® 98/2000/ME/XP. For more information
and to install this software see the Keysight Automation–Ready CD-ROM provided
with your 34410A/11A.
