Overview
The LAN (Local Area Network) remote control system provides two
methods: controlling the E4990A using the SICL-LAN server and controlling
the E4990A using the telnet server.
System Configuration
Use a LAN cable to connect between the E4990A and the external
controller (computer). The following figure shows the overview of the
system configuration of the LAN remote control system.
Configuration of the LAN remote control system
Required Equipment
• E4990A
• External controller (PC or workstation that can be connected to LAN)
• Other devices (other instruments and/or peripherals that serve your
purpose)
• LAN cables
Control over SICL-LAN Server
In the control system using the SICL-LAN server, communication between
the external controller (client) and the E4990A (server) is performed using
the SICL-LAN protocol. Communication is performed using SICL (Standard
Instrument Control Library). You can control the E4990A by programming
using SICL or VISA with the C language in the UNIX environment, or Visual
C++, Visual Basic, or VEE in the Windows environment.
