2 Remote 

Setup 

To enable remote operation capabilities via IEEE-488, USB, Ethernet and J1 connection (50 pin 
DSUB connector in back of the unit), the unit must be configured for remote operation. 

 

 

8810A Programmer’s 

 
Click on the button labeled “Loc/Rem” to view the Local/Remote Configuration screen: 
 

 

 

In “Local” mode, the configuration settings can be queried.  The unit must be in one of the 
“Remote” modes (Ethernet, IEEE, USB or J1) before configuration settings can be changed 
remotely. Note, for remote programming via the IEEE interface, the language type must be 
selected, refer to section 3 on language support.
