How to change the instrument name
In a LAN that uses a DNS server (Domain Name System server), each PC or instru-

instead of the IP address. The DNS server translates the host name to the IP address.
This is especially useful when a DHCP server is used, as a new IP address may be
assigned each time the instrument is restarted.
