Keysight B2961A/B2962A User’s Guide, Edition 3 3-35
Installation
Communicating Over the LAN
To launch the graphical web interface:
1. Open a Web browser on your computer.
2. Enter the instrument’s hostname or IP address into the browser’s Address field
to launch the graphical web interface. The B2961A/B2962A home page will
appear.
3. Click on the Browser Web Control button in the navigation bar on the left to
begin controlling your instrument.
4. For additional help about any page, click “Help with this Page”.
If desired, you can control the access to the graphical web interface using password
protection. As shipped from the factory, the password is set to keysight or agilent. To
change the password, click on the View & Modify Configuration button. Refer to
the online help for additional information about setting the password.
Using Telnet
The Telnet utility (as well as sockets), is another way to communicate with
B2961A/B2962A without using I/O libraries or drivers. In all cases, you must first
establish a LAN connection from your computer to the B2961A/B2962A as
previously described.
In an MS-DOS Command Prompt box, type “telnet hostname 5024” where
hostname is the B2961A/B2962A’s hostname or IP address, and 5024 is the
instrument’s telnet port. You should get a Telnet session box with a title indicating
that you are connected to the B2961A/B2962A. Type the SCPI commands at the
prompt.
Using Sockets
NOTE Keysight B2961A/B2962A allows any combination of up to four simultaneous data
socket, control socket, or telnet connections to be made.
Keysight instruments are standardized on using port 5025 for SCPI socket services.
A data socket on this port can be used to send and receive ASCII/SCPI commands,
queries, and query responses. All commands must be terminated with a newline for
the message to be parsed. All query responses will also be terminated with a
newline.
