Remote file access (FTP, SAMBA/SMB)
●
A remote client accesses the instrument's file system, using the protocols FTP (file
transfer protocol) and SAMBA/SMB (server message block).
●
The protocols enable you to transfer files from or to the instrument and to get direct
access to its file sharing directory share.
How to:
Chapter 11.9, "How to Transfer Files from and to the Instrument", on page 696.
"Activating SMB version 1.0/2.0 client and server" on page 766
13.2 Remote Control Interfaces and Protocols
The instrument supports various interfaces for remote control. The table gives an over-
view on the connectivity:

A LAN connector is on the front or rear panel of
the instrument, or both.
The interface is based on TCP/IP and supports
various protocols.
For a description of the protocols, refer to:

Optional GPIB bus interfaces according to stan-
dard IEC 625.1/IEEE 488.1 are on the rear
panel of the instrument.

ter 13.2.3, "GPIB Interface (IEC/IEEE Bus Inter-
face)", on page 779.

) VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a standardized software interface library providing input and output functions to
communicate with instruments. A VISA installation on the controller is a prerequisite for remote control over LAN (when using
VXI-11 or HiSLIP protocol), USB and serial interface. For remote control via socket communication VISA installation is optional. For
more information, see Chapter 13.3.1, "VISA Library", on page 781.
