SCOPIX Oscilloscopes II - 17
Description of the instrument (cont'd)
The various instrument parameters can be accessed via menus.
The rules for using, selecting and modifying an option are identical to those
defined by Microsoft Windows.
Using the menus
To input a numerical value (time base, alignment, etc.), a double click on the
numerical field brings up a virtual keyboard:
Network
Configuration of the "Network" interface (ETHERNET).
This interface uses the same connector (RS232/ETHERNET), located on the
right-hand side of the instrument, and requires a specific ETHERNET / RJ 45
cable.
General principles of
the ETHERNET
network
Addressing
ETHERNET and TCP/IP (Transmission Protocol/Internet Protocol) are used to
communicate on a company's network.
Each piece of equipment under TCP/IP has a physical address
(ETHERNET) and an Internet address (IP).
ETHERNET physical
addresses
A physical or ETHERNET address, stored in ROM or PAL, identifies each
item of equipment on the network. The physical address enables the
equipment to determine the source of data "packet" transmission.
The physical address is a number coded over 6 bytes represented in
hexadecimal form. Hardware manufacturers procure physical addresses and
allocate them incrementally when the product is manufactured. The physical
addresses cannot be modified.
Numerical value being input
Pressing on one of these keys initialises
the input field with the min. or max. value
of the parameter
The window title indicates the adjustment
in process and the measurement unit
Erase
key
Exit the window, validating (or cancelling) the
value entered
Use the E key followed by an exponent to
indicate a power of 10
