Installation
This chapter covers installation of the instrument, addressing the following topics:

System Start-up

How to connect to the instrument
First Steps
 When you first receive the instrument, it has a pre-configured IP address from the
factory. This IP address is printed on a label on the instrument. You may choose to
keep this IP or to change it. If you need to change the IP, there are two ways to do
so: either through the USB interface, or through the Ethernet interface. If you do
choose USB, then you first have to install the USB driver of this instrument from
the ML website, then use the application named ETHconfig. If however you choose
the LAN interface to change the IP, then you need to download the application
IPChanger from the ML website then temporarily change your PC’s IP to be in the
same domain as the instrument, i.e. 172.16.xx.xx. once you’ve successfully
changed the instrument’s IP, you can change back your PC’s IP.
 Please make sure you print a label with the newly assigned IP address and stick it
on the instrument. If for some reason you cannot remember what IP address your
instrument has, you will have to use the USB interface together with the ETHconfig
software to “read” the IP.
Connect through Ethernet :
Connect the PC to the front panel via the RJ45 connector located on the front
panel through an Ethernet cable to be able to control it.
In order to connect via Ethernet, the IP address of the board is required.
To learn more options on how to connect the Ethernet cable go to the section
Connect through an Ethernet Cable .
o
Note that no drivers are required; you simply should know the current
board IP address, you need to enter it in the text box next to the
IP label
shown in the below picture, then click on the connect button.
