NOTE
You must save the data from the output queue while the instrument is communicating with the remote
command interface. All data in the output queue is cleared when the instrument returns to local mode.
LAN communications
Local area network (LAN) communications provide the flexibility to build scalable and functional test
or data acquisition systems with a large degree of flexibility. The Model 2651A is a Class C LXI-
compliant instrument that supports TCP/IP and complies with IEEE std 802.3 (Ethernet). There is one
LAN port (located on the back of the instrument) that supports full connectivity on a 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps network.
LAN cable connection
The Model 2651A includes two CA-180-3A cables (LAN crossover cables). Use one cable for the
TSP-Link
®
network and use the other cable for the LAN.
Use the following figure as a guide when making LAN connections.
To configure the LAN settings, see
