Users Manual

Reviewing and Setting the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway

2-35.

If communication between the host computer and the NetDAQ instrument passes through a router or gateway, you must set the subnet mask and default gateway address on both the host computer and the instrument. Get this information from your network administrator.

For more information on the purpose of the subnet mask and default gateway address, see Appendix I, “Network Considerations.”

Perform the procedure in Figure 2-27 to review or set the instrument network gateway parameters. The network gateway parameters include turning the default gateway feature on or off, setting a subnet mask, and setting an IP address for the gateway attached to the local network.

Note

Set the IP address of the instrument before the setting gateway parameters. The NetDAQ instrument checks the gateway IP address for validity by using the instrument IP address.

Default Gateway Parameters If the NetDAQ instrument and host PC are on different subnets and must communicate through a gateway (router), turn the default gateway feature ON and enter the subnet mask and IP address of the gateway, as supplied by your network administrator. If you do not require a gateway, turn the default gateway feature OFF.

Both models incorporate a large, easy-to-read display, making it convenient for users to view measurement results clearly from a distance. They also feature a wide measurement range, capable of handling a variety of tasks, from basic voltage and current measurements to more complex tasks such as resistance and temperature measurements with appropriate sensors.

The multimeters also stand out with their advanced data logging capabilities. The Fluke 2645A, for instance, can store up to 10,000 readings, allowing for extensive data collection and analysis without the need for constant monitoring. This is beneficial for long-term studies or processes that require continual oversight.

Connectivity is another key characteristic. Both the 2640A and 2645A support USB and RS-232 interfaces, which enable easy integration with computers and other devices for seamless data transfer. This feature is important for engineers who rely on software for data analysis and visualization.

Another notable technology included in these models is the Fluke Connect app compatibility, which allows users to remotely monitor measurements from their smartphones or tablets. This capability provides added flexibility, enabling technicians to work hands-free while still keeping an eye on process measurements.

Additionally, the Fluke 2645A comes with a graphical display option, allowing users to visualize measurement trends over time. This graphical representation can be invaluable for diagnosing issues or observing patterns in data.

In conclusion, the Fluke 2640A and 2645A multimeters offer exceptional performance with their high accuracy, extensive data logging, connectivity options, and advanced visualization capabilities. These features make them indispensable tools for professionals in a variety of fields, ensuring that they can achieve reliable results in their measurement endeavors.
