4 Triggering the Oscilloscope

Note that the VPT1000 is shipped pre-configured with an IP address of 192.168.80.<serial number>, and a subnet mask of 255.255.240.0. See the VPT1000 user manual for more information.

4Set the oscilloscope’s IP address:

1Press Utility&IO&Control. Deselect the LAN check box (turn it off).

2Press the LAN Settings softkey.

3Press the Config softkey. Deselect DHCP and AutoIP.

4Press the Address softkey. Press the Modify softkey. Set the oscilloscope’s IP address to 192.168.80.1 (the last number in the IP address must be different from the VPT1000’s).

Press the Apply softkey.

5Press the Modify softkey twice. Set the oscilloscope’s Subnet mask to 255.255.240.0. Press the Apply softkey.

6Press the Modify softkey twice. Set the oscilloscope’s Gateway IP to 192.168.80.1. Press the Apply softkey.

Selecting the VPT1000 Control/Operating Mode

1In the VPT1000 Menu (see “Accessing the VPT1000 Menu” on page 156), press the Mode softkey to select one of these operating modes:

PC — PC with J8130A Option 200 software controls the VPT1000.

Asynchronous — oscilloscope controls the VPT1000, asynchronous monitoring mode.

Synchronous — oscilloscope controls the VPT1000, synchronous monitoring mode.

In PC Mode There is no need to specify additional options or connect the oscilloscope to the VPT1000’s (ethernet) LAN control interface. The VPT1000 must be connected to the PC via LAN.
