10.5 How to Set Up a Network and Remote Control
Risk of network failure
Before connecting the instrument to the network or configuring the network, consult
your network administrator. Errors may affect the entire network.
Remote operation
Remote operation of the instrument from a connected computer is possible using SCPI
