"VXI-11" is the protocol that is used to detect the instrument in the LAN.
Ping client
Ping is a utility that verifies the connection between the instrument and another device.
The ping command uses the
ICMP
echo request and echo reply packets to determine
whether the LAN connection is functional. Ping is useful for diagnosing IP network or
router failures. The ping utility is not password-protected.
To initiate a ping between the compliant instrument and a second connected device:
1. Enable "ICMP Ping" on the "Advanced Config" page (enabled by default).
2. On the "Ping Client" page, enter the IP address of the second device
without the
ping command and without any further parameters
into the "Destination
Address" field (e.g.
10.113.10.203
).
3. Click "Submit".

Web control
"Web Control" emulates the front panel and shows the instrument display. You see a
live image of the instrument, and you can operate the instrument remotely. You can
use the keys, the knobs and the menus in the same way as directly on the instrument.
The Web control replaces VNC as control tool for remote operation.
