Keysight E4981A 120 Hz/1 kHz/1 MHz Capacitance Meter 29
Overview of Remote Control
LAN Remote Control System
Control using Keysight VEE
Keysight VEE allows you to control the E4981A through the connection to the
socket of port 5025 using the To/From Socket. Figure 2-5 shows an example
(when the IP address of the E4981A is 192.168.1.101). Enter “5025” in the field
to specify the port for connection (1 in Figure 2-5) and enter the IP address of
the E4981A in the field to specify the host name (2 in Figure 2-5).

Control via Web server
For control over a Web server, communications are performed between the
external controller and the E4981A through a LAN, regarding the E4981A as a
Web server. You can control the E4981A and send SCPI commands from the
external controller by displaying the E4981A’s front panel in the external
controller with Internet Explorer (IE6.0 SP2 or later).
In addition, you can import the screen and recall the measurement data.
Preparing external controller
As in the case of the SICL-LAN server, you need to set the I/O interface of the
external controller in advance to establish communication to the E4981A using
the TCP/IP protocol. For the procedure, refer to“Preparing the external
controller” on page 23 of “Control over SICL-LAN server” section.
