Step 3. Connect the Signal Generator to the PC
Using LAN
Connect the signal generator to the PC:
Either
— use a 100 Base-T LAN cable to connect the signal generator to the PC,
or
— connect both the PC and the signal generator to the LAN using 100 Base-T LAN cables.
There are numerous ways to configure the signal generator to connect to the LAN. Refer to:
— Keysight MXG FAQ’s “How do I connect the Keysight MXG Signal Generator to a PC using
LAN?”.
— Keysight Technologies IO Libraries USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide (E2094–
90009).
— Keysight X-Series
Programming Guide

Depending on the signal generator's current LAN settings and which procedure you choose, the
signal generator's LAN settings may be changed. Since these settings are persistent (retained
through presets and power cycles) it is recommended that you record the current LAN settings so
you can restore them back to their original settings after upgrading the firmware. Information on
the LAN softkeys is provided in key
Help
of the instrument. See also the
User’s Guide.
Using GPIB
1.
Connect a GPIB cable between the PC and the signal generator.
2.
Set the GPIB address:
Press
Utility
>
I/O Config
>
GPIB Setup
>
GPIB Address
>
19
The signal generator’s GPIB address is set to 19 at the factory. The acceptable range of
addresses is 0 through 30. Once initialized, the state of the GPIB address is not affected by a
signal generator preset or by a power cycle. Other instruments on the GPIB cannot use the
same address as the signal generator.
Using USB
Connect a USB cable between the PC and the signal generator’s rear panel Micro USB connector.
If the “Found New Hardware” wizard activates, select
Install the Software Automatically
.
If there is more than one signal generator on the same bus whose GPIB address is 19, turn the
power off to the instrument(s) or change the address of the signal generator of interest.
