Connecting via GPIB
Connect the optional USB2-GPIB Converter from either USB 2.0 port on the
back panel to the GPIB port on the controller.
Using the monitor, go to
Utilities > Utilities Setup
and open

The oscilloscope software will use the default GPIB device address of 6.
This must match how the device is identified to the rest of the bus and
addressed in programs. To change the GPIB Address, double-click the field
and enter the correct value on the pop-up keypad.
Record the GPIB address for use in VISA and ActiveDSO connect strings.
Direct Connection
The WaveRunner 8000-R can be controlled over a coaxial cable or a
straight ENET cable capable of directional switching (as most modern
cables are). In this case, choose Control From TCPIP (VICP) and follow
all other requirements for that method. Be sure to set a static IP address
on the WaveRunner 8000-R unless you are running a DHCP server on
the controller, as otherwise there will be no way to manage dynamic
addressing.
BASICS
Connecting via USBTMC
Connect a USBTMC (A-B) cable from the USBTMC port on the back of the

Do not connect to a USB 3.0 port on the controller. Use
only the USB 2.0 ports or use a USB 2.0 cable.
Using the monitor, go to
Utilities > Utilities Setup
and open
