Getting Started
Using the LXI Web Page
and e*Scope
With e*Scope, y
ou can access any Internet-connected MSO/DPO4000B,
MDO4000/B/C or MDO3000 Series oscilloscope from a web browser. To set up
e*Scope communications between your oscilloscope and a Web browser running
on a remote computer:
1. Connect the oscilloscope to your computer network with an appropriate
Ethernet cable.
2. Push Utility.
3. Push Utility Page.
4. Turn multipurpose knob a and select I/O.
5. Push Ethernet & LXI.
6. On top of the side menu, there is an indicator light which turns green for
good status and red if the device detects a fault. Look at it to determine the
condition of the LAN.
7. Push LAN Settings to display the network parameters configured on your
oscilloscope.
8. Push LAN Reset to restore the LAN defaults to your oscilloscope.
9. Push Test Connection to check if your oscilloscope can find an attached
network.
10. Push More to see another page of side-menu items.
11. Push Change Names to change the name of the oscilloscope, the network
domain, or the service name.
12. Push Change Ethernet & LXI Password to use the LXI password to also
protect your oscilloscope from changes made to LAN settings from a Web
browser.
13. Start your browser on your remote computer. In the browser address line,
enter the host name, a dot, and the domain name together. Alternatively, just
enter the IP address of the instrument. Either way, you should then see the
LXI Welcome page on your Web browser on your computer screen.
14. Click “Network Configuration” to view and edit the network configuration
settings. If you are using a password and changing your settings, you need to
know that the default user name is “lxiuser”.
15. For e*Scope, click the Instrument Control (e*Scope) link on the left side of
the LXI Welcome page. You should then see a new tab (or window) open in
your browser with e*Scope running.
Using a Socket Server
A socket server provides two-way communication over an Internet Protocol-based
computer network. You can use your oscilloscope’s socket server feature tolet
your oscilloscope talk to a remote-terminal device or computer.
