VXI-11 Discovery
–
Enables or prevents discovering the instrument via the VXI-11 Discovery proto-
col, which is a protocol jointly developed by National Instruments and VISA for
searching for devices on a LAN.
VXI-11 is the protocol that is used for discovery of the instrument in the LAN.
According to the standard, LXI instruments must use VXI-11 to provide a dis-
covery mechanism; other additional search methods are permitted.

Ping Client
Ping is a utility that verifies the connection between the LXI-compliant instrument and
another instrument. The ping command uses the ICMP echo request and echo reply
packets to determine whether the LAN connection is functional. Ping is useful for diag-
nosing IP network or router failures.
The ping utility is not password-protected.
To initiate a ping between the LXI-compliant instrument and a second connected
instrument:
1. "Activate ICMP Ping" on the "Advanced LAN Configuration" page (activated after
LCI).
2. Enter the IP address of the second device without the ping command and without
any further parameters into the Destination Address field (e.g. 10.113.10.203).
3. Click on "Submit".
