Description

 

 

Remote access to

Access and control up to 14 GPIB and/or one RS-232 instrument via a

instruments via LAN

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet. The E5810 detects the network

 

and configures itself to the appropriate speed. The E5810 has a

 

standard RJ-45 LAN connector. You can use adapters to connect other

 

interface types, such as optical or wireless LAN.

 

 

I/O Software Included

The E5810 includes the Agilent IO Libraries Suite, which includes

 

Agilent Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA), VISA COM,

 

Standard Instrument Control Library (SICL), and several I/O utilities.

 

This standard software provides compatibility with different hardware

 

and software vendors. It provides the I/O software layer used when

 

accessing the E5810. You can use a standard programming language,

 

such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Agilent VEE, etc.

 

The E5810 supports all I/O application operations provided by VISA,

 

VISA COM, SICL, and Agilent VEE. The E5810 is supported on

 

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista.

 

You can also use the Agilent IntuiLink software (included with some

 

Agilent products) to download data and send waveforms to the source,

 

with no programming.

 

 

Supports DHCP

The E5810 supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to

Protocol

get its IP address. Although the E5810 defaults to using DHCP, you

 

can turn DHCP OFF and statically assign the E5810 IP address.

 

 

Ease of Use

Built-in Web access and front panel display allow you to easily set up,

 

configure, and use the E5810. You can connect multiple E5810s in a

 

test system. Each E5810 creates a separate GPIB bus.
