Using the web interface
If you are connected to the 2600B using LAN communications, you can use an internet browser to
connect to the instrument through the 2600B web interface.
The LXI web interface allows you to change settings and control your instrument through the web
interface. The web interface includes:
• A virtual front panel that you can use to control the instrument.
• TSB Embedded, a script management tool that can also be used to send individual commands to
the instrument.
• The instrument status, model, serial number, firmware revision, and the last LXI message.
• An ID button to help you locate the instrument.
• Ability to download data from specific reading buffers into a .csv file.
• Administrative options, LAN information, and LXI information.
The web interface resides in the firmware of the instrument. Changes you make through the web
interface are immediately made in the instrument.
You can also upgrade the instrument from the web interface. Refer to Upgrading the firmware (on
page 5-4) for instructions.
To set up LAN connections, refer to Series 2600B Reference Manual, “LAN communications.”
How to access the web interface
You can access the web interface by entering the IP address of the instrument in the address line of
an internet browser.
To get the IP address of the instrument:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key.
2. Select LAN > STATUS.
3. Use the navigation wheel to select IP-ADDRESS.
4. Press the ENTER key to view the active setting.
5. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the STATUS menu.
To find the IP address of the 2600B from a computer, use the LXI Discovery Tool, a utility that is
available from the Resources tab of the LXI Consortium website (lxistandard.org).
