SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:UPDate
Each instrument is shipped with a default host name with the format: K-modelnumber-serialnumber,
where modelnumber is the instrument’s 7-character model number (e.g. DAQ970A), and serialnumber is
the last five characters of the 10-character instrument serial number located on the label on the top of the
unit (e.g. 5678 if the serial number is MY12345678).
l The instrument receives a unique hostname at the factory, but you may change it. The host-
name must be unique on the LAN.
l The name must start with letter, other characters can be an upper or lower case letters,
numeric digits, or dashes "-".
l This setting is non-volatile, it will not be changed by cycling power, factory reset (*RST com-
mand), or instrument present (SYSTem:PRESet command).
IP Address
You can enter a static IP address for the instrument as a four-byte integer expressed in dot notation. Each
byte is a decimal value, with no leading zeros (for example, 169.254.2.20). Refer to "More about
IPAddresses and Dot Notation" for further details.
