To establish a point-to-point LAN connection

Stand-alone connection to a PC

The following procedure describes how to establish a point-to-point (stand alone) connection to the oscilloscope. This is useful if you want to control the oscilloscope using a laptop computer or a stand-alone computer.

1Install Agilent I/O Libraries Suite from the CD that was supplied with the oscilloscope. If you do not have the CD you can download the I/O Libraries Suite from www.agilent.com/find/iolib.

2Connect your PC to the oscilloscope using a cross-over LAN cable. (The 5061-0701 LAN crossover cable is supplied with 6000L Series oscilloscopes.)

3Switch on the oscilloscope power. Wait until the LAN connection is configured:

•On 6000A Series oscilloscopes, press Utility & I/O and wait until the LAN status shows “configured”.

•On 6000L Series oscilloscopes, the LAN indicator illuminates green when the LAN connection is configured.

This may take a few minutes.

4Start the Agilent Connection Expert application from the Agilent I/O Libraries Suite program group.

5When the Agilent Connection Expert application is displayed, select Refresh All.

6Right Click LAN and select Add Instrument.

7In the Add Instrument window, the LAN line should be highlighted; select OK.

8In the LAN Instrument window, select Find Instruments…

9In the Search for instruments on the LAN window, LAN and Look up hostnames should be checked.

10Select the Find Now key. (NOTE: It may take up to three minutes before the instrument is found. If the instrument is not found the first time, wait about one minute and try again.)
