Remote Control
The Remote dialog contains settings to configure remote control of the instrument and also network
access. Supported remote control protocols are:
l
TCPIP (Ethernet)
. If you choose this option, also install Teledyne LeCroy's VICP drivers on the
controller. These are included in the VICP Passport plug-in, available free from
teledynelecroy.com/support/softwaredownload
under Oscilloscope Downloads > Software
Utilities. The instrument uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as its default
addressing protocol. You can assign a static IP address using the standard Windows network
setup menus.
l
LXI (Ethernet)

GPIB
. This selection is only active if the instrument has the GPIB hardware option installed.
Connect the controller to the GPIB port.
