This section gives information on configuring the 81150A / 81160A for
remote interface communication. For information on configuring the
instrument from the front panel, see “Configuring the Remote Interface”
section. For information on the SCPI commands available to program the
81150A / 81160A over the remote interface, see chapter 4.
The Keysight 81150A / 81160A supports remote interface communication
using a choice of three interfaces: GPIB, USB, and LAN. All three interfaces
are "live" at power up. This section describes some interface configuration
parameters that you may need to set on your 81150A / 81160A.
The CD-ROM provided with your instrument contains connectivity software
to enable communications over these interfaces. Refer to the instructions
provided on the CD-ROM to install this software on your PC.
GPIB Interface. You need to set only the GPIB address for the 81150A
/ 81160A and connect it to your PC using a GPIB cable.
USB Interface. There is nothing to configure on your 81150A /
81160A. Just connect the 81150A / 81160A to the PC with a USB
cable.
LAN Interface. By default, DHCP is On, which may enable network
communication over the LAN interface. You may need to set several
configuration parameters as described in the LAN configuration
sections that follow.
