If asked to specify a driver location, select the “USB Driver” folder and make sure that
“include subfolders” is checked.
4.3.5
GPIB Connection
To ensure proper communication, use a GPIB cable that is fully compatible with the
IEEE 488.1 standard. All GPIB/IEEE 488 interface connections must be made before
turning on the instruments.
The GPIB address can be changed either from the SETUP menu of the front panel
controls or from the SETUP screen of the control program (if an interface other than
GPIB is being used).
4.3.6
Ethernet Connection
The IP address from an ISP is assigned in one of two ways:
•
Set to an IP which is only good for a limited time, and which is changed
according to the policy set by the ISP's DHCP server. This is a
dynamic IP
address
.
•
Set to an IP address which can be unchanged for months or years at a time. This is
a
static IP address
.
Ethernet Setup:
1.
Connections:
There are two connection configurations for Ethernet control:
a)
Static IP: the administrator assigns the instrument a fixed IP address. In this
mode, the instrument can be directly connected to the control PC, as shown in
Figure 24. For a direct connection, a cross-linked network cable must be used.
Note: Static IP can also be used with the instrument connected to a router. In
this case, a straight-linked network cable would be used.
b)
Dynamic IP: the DHCP server assigns the instrument an available address
when requested. Connect the instrument with a DHCP server (router or
exchange server), as shown in Figure 25. For this configuration, a standard
straight-linked network cable must be used.
