Static IP setup screen.
Notes on configuration:
The net mask and gateway should be the same as those for the control computer (see
example below). The first 3 groups of numbers in the IP address should be the same as
those for the control computer (192.168.2, for example). The last number can be any
available number, but cannot be the same as the IP address of the control computer. If the
last number of the computer’s subnet mask is n, the available IP address range is n+1 to
254. For example, if n = 0, then the available IP addresses are 1 to 254. Then, if the
computer’s IP address is 17, the user can set the IP address for the PMDPro to any
number in the range 1-254 except 17.
Notes:
•
To connect the instrument directly to a PC, use a PC to PC cable. To connect the
instrument to a LAN, use a standard network cable.
•
For Ethernet control, the serial port is only used during Ethernet setup via the
GP_SET_ETHERNET program.
•
The remote control command format is the same for all communication protocols
(RS-232, USB, Ethernet, GPIB).
4.3.7
Control Program Interface
Connect the PMDPro to the control computer using the desired remote control interface
(RS-232, USB, Ethernet, or GPIB) and power on the instrument. When the control
program is first started, it will ask if the control interface is Ethernet.
