Power the instrument on or off
Before turning the instrument on, disconnect any devices under test (DUTs) from the 2470.
To turn your instrument on, press the front-panel POWER switch to place it in the on (|) position. The
instrument displays a status bar as it powers on. The home screen is displayed when power on is
complete.
To turn your instrument off, press the front-panel POWER switch to place it in the off (O) position.
Remote communications interfaces
You can choose from one of several communication interfaces to send commands to and receive
responses from the 2470.
You can control the 2470 from only one communications interface at a time. The first interface on
which the instrument receives a message takes control of the instrument. If another interface sends a
message, that interface can take control of the instrument. You may need to enter a password to
change the interface, depending on the access mode.
The 2470 automatically detects the type of communications interface (LAN, USB, or GPIB) when you
connect to the respective port on the rear panel of the instrument. In most cases, you do not need to
configure anything on the instrument. In addition, you do not need to reboot if you change the type of
interface that is connected.
