Getting Started with Remote Operation Using the Web Browser

Using the Web Browser

The instrument can be accessed through a standard web browser, when it is connected to the LAN. To access through the web browser, enter the instrument IP address as the URL in your browser.

The signal generator web page, shown at right and page 13, provides general information on the signal generator, FTP access to files stored on the signal generator, and a means to control the instrument using either a remote front- panel interface or SCPI commands. The web page also has links to Agilent’s products, support, manuals, and website. For additional information on memory catalog access (file storing), and FTP, refer to the User’s Guide and “Waveform Memory” on page 198 and for FTP, see “Using FTP” on page 43 and “FTP Procedures” on page 210.

The Web Server service is compatible with

the Microsoft© Internet Explorer (6.0 and newer) web browser and operating systems Windows 2000, Windows XP, and newer.

For more information on using the Web Server, refer to “Enabling the Signal Generator Web Server” on page 11.

The Agilent MXG is LXI Class C compliant. For more information on the LXI standards, refer to http://www.lxistandard.org/home.
