Using the Web Server
You can communicate with the signal generator using the Web Server. This service uses TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) to communicate with the signal generator over the
internet.
The Web Server uses a client/server model where the client is the web browser on your PC or workstation
and the server is the signal generator. When you enable the Web Server, you can access a web page that
resides on the signal generator.
