Remote Interface Configuration
The instrument supports remote interface communication over three interfaces: USB, GPIB, and LAN.
– USB Interface: Use the rear-panel USB port to communicate with your PC.
– GPIB Interface: Set the instrument's GPIB address and connect to your PC using a GPIB cable.
– LAN Interface: By default, DHCP is on, which may enable communication over LAN. The acronym DHCP stands for
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to networked devices. With
dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network.
Keysight IOLibraries Suite
Ensure that the Keysight IO Libraries Suite is installed before you proceed for the remote interface con-
figuration.
Keysight IOLibraries Suite is a collection of free instrument control software that automatically discovers
instruments and allows you to control instruments over LAN, USB, GPIB, RS-232, and other interfaces. For more
information, or to download IO Libraries, go to www.keysight.com/find/iosuite.
GPIB configuration
There are no SCPI commands to configure the GPIB parameter. All GPIB configuration must be done from the
front panel.
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique whole number address between 0 and 30. The
instrument ships with a default address of 5.
– This setting is non-volatile; it will not be changed by power cycling or *RST or SYSTem:PRESet.
– Your computer’s GPIB interface card address must not conflict with any instrument on the interface bus.
1. Press Utilities> I/O Config > GPIB to access the GPIB window.
2. From this window, you can set the GPIB address using the numeric keys and press [Enter].
3. Press Back to exit.
