Basic Setups
Connecting to Your Instrument
You can connect to your instrument as Remote Host, Remote Desktop, or Local.
To access the TLA Connection dialog box, start the TLA Application software on the instrument or on your PC.
NOTE.
The TLA Connection dialog box appears when you start the instrument from a PC or when you restart the TLA
application without shutting down the instrument.
Local Connection
Choose a Local connection when you want to work directly on the instrument.
NOTE.
Make sure that you select
Local
instead of
Of
fl
ine
when you want to connect
to your local instrument. Selecting Of
fl
ine
does not connect you to an instrument.
Remote Host Connection
Connect as Remote Host when you want to run the application on your PC to control the instrument remotely, and then
store the data locally on your PC.
NOTE.
You must be connected to a LAN
to use Remote Host and the TLA Server
(TLA7012 and TLA5000B) must be running.
