Tips for the using the LAN interface
Using VISA
Use the VISA TCP/IP connect string in the VISA viOpen function.
This string is of the form: TCPIP0::hostname::INSTR
where hostname is the default hostname (or new hostname if it has
been reconfigured. This can also be the unit’s IP address. Do not use
the IP address if it has been dynamically obtained, as it could change.
Using VISA Assistant
Run the Agilent library IO config program.
In the Configured Interfaces pane, click on TCPIP0. In the LAN Client
dialog, click the Edit VISA Config button. In the TCPIP devices dialog,
click the Add device button. In the Machine Name/IP box, enter the
N5700 Hostname or IP address.
Using Telnet
In an MS-DOS Command Prompt box type: telnet hostname 5024
where hostname is the N5700 Hostname or IP address and 5024 is
the instrument’s telnet port. You should get a telnet session box with
a title indicating that you are connected to the N5700 unit. Type SCPI
commands at the prompt.
