SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:HOSTname "<name>"
SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:HOSTname? [{CURRent|STATic}]
Assigns a hostname to the instrument. A hostname is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated into
an IP address. If Dynamic Domain Name System (Dynamic DNS) is available on your network and your instrument
uses DHCP, the hostname is registered with the Dynamic DNS service at power-on. If DHCP is enabled
(SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DHCP ON), the DHCP server can change the specified hostname.
If you change this setting, you must execute a SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:UPDate command to activ-
ate the setting.
Parameter Typical return
<name> = A string of up to 15 characters. Must start with letter (A-Z) May contain letters,
numbers (0-9), or dashes ("-")
Default: "K-<instrument model number>-nnnnn", where "nnnnn" is the last five digits of the
instrument's serial number.
[{CURRent | STATic}] Default = CURRent
"LAB1-DAQ970A"
Define a hostname:
SYST:COMM:LAN:HOST "LAB1-DAQ970A"
SYST:COMM:LAN:UPD
– CURRent - Returns hostname currently being used by the instrument.
– STATic - Returns desired hostname from non-volatile memory, that may not be the actual name used by the
instrument if DHCP is enabled.
– If host name has not been assigned, the query returns a null string ("").
– This parameter is set to its default value when the instrument is shipped from the factory and after
SYSTem:SECurity:IMMediate.
– The setting is non-volatile, and does not change when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST command)
or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
