Interface
Activates or deactivates additional instrument interfaces. Using these interfaces you can
communicate with the instrument, for example to read out data or automate the meas-

installed in a specific slot at the rear. Depending on the installed interface, additional
parameters may be definable via the "Parameter" softkey after the interface has been
activated.
USB ← Interface
Activates the (Type B) USB interface for remote control. The USB interface provides a
simple way to connect the instrument to a PC. The USB 2.0 standard is supported. Use
a connection cable that is suitable for a "Type B" USB interface.
No settings are available for the USB interface.
Note:
You cannot connect a printer via the Type B USB interface. Use one of the Type
A USB interfaces on the rear or front panel to connect a printer.

server, it takes about two minutes until the LAN menu is available.
The interface is configured using the
