Communicating Over the LAN
The Keysight IO Libraries Suite along with instrument drivers for specific
programming environments can be used to communicate with your
power system. You can also communicate with your power system using
its built-in Web server, the Telnet utility, or sockets. These latter
methods are a convenient way to communicate with the power system
without using I/O libraries or drivers. In all cases, you must first establish
a LAN connection from your computer to the power system as previously
discussed.
Your power system has a built-in Web server that lets you control it
directly from an internet browser on your computer. With the Web
server, you can access the front panel control functions including the
LAN configuration parameters. Up to
simultaneous connections are
allowed. With additional connections, performance will be reduced.
The built-in Web server only operates over the LAN interface. It requires
Internet Explorer 7+ or Firefox2+. You also need the Java (Sun) Plug-in.
This is included in the Java Runtime Environment. Refer to Sun
Microsystem’s website. If you are using Internet Explorer 7 o
browser window for each connection.
The Web server is enabled when shipped. To launch the Web server:
1 Open the internet browser on your computer.
2 Enter the instrument’s hostname or IP address into the browser’s
Address field to launch the Web server. The following home page
will appear:
3 Click on the Browser Web Control button in the navigation bar on
the left to begin controlling your instrument.
