Explanation
To use the network, you need to connect a USB Type A wired LAN adapter (communication dongle)
to the instrument. With a network connection, you can control the instrument using communication
commands.
For details on DHCP and TCP/IP, contact your network administrator.
Please use your own communication dongle. For the recommended communication dongles that can
be used with this instrument, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
Enabling and Disabling the Network Feature
Set the user name, password, timeout value, and TCP/IP parameters, and then select Valid.
When you enter the network settings, you can start communicating over the network. You do not have
to restart the instrument.
Valid: Communication is possible using the network feature.
Invalid: Communication is not possible using the network feature.
User Name and Password
Set the user authentication user name and password for accessing the instrument from a PC.
User Name
You can use up to 15 characters. The default setting is “anonymous.”
Password
You can use up to 15 characters.
Note
• If a user authentication error occurs, communication will not possible using the network feature.
• You do not need to enter a password when the user name is set to “anonymous.”
Time Out
If there is no access to the instrument within the specified period, the network connection between the
instrument and the PC is automatically disconnected.
Selectable range: Infinite (0), 1 to 3600 s
If you set the value to 0, “Infinite” is displayed, and the timeout value is set to infinity. If the network
connection is disconnected because of external factors, not a normal disconnection from the remote
device, the instrument will keep the network connected unless the power is turned off. To prevent this
from happening, we recommend that you set the timeout value to a finite period.
DHCP
If there is a DHCP server on the network to which the instrument is connected and you want to use
DHCP, set this to ON. Consult your network administrator to verify if DHCP is available.
ON: IP address, netmask, and gateway parameters are assigned automatically.
OFF: IP address, netmask, and gateway parameters must be assigned manually.
TCP/IP
IP Address
Set the IP address to assign to the instrument. The IP address is an ID number assigned to each
computer connected to the Internet or an intranet network.
Obtain the IP address from your network administrator.
If DHCP is available and you set DHCP above to ON, the IP address is assigned automatically.
