Agilent E5810A LAN/GPIB
Gateway
Features
• Remote access and control of
GPIB instruments via the LAN
• Easy setup and use via digital
display and Web browser
Best for
• Connection to remote GPIB and
RS-232 instrumentation
• Shared test systems
Remote access and collaboration
with GPIB instruments via your LAN
The E5810A can use DHCP, if avail-
able, to automatically configure nec-
essary network parameters, includ-
ing its IP address. The gateway can
be controlled from multiple locations
and by multiple users via your LAN,
so it is easy to share control of
instruments from locations world-
wide.
For easy remote access enter the IP
address from the digital display as
the URL in your Web browser and
gain access to connected GPIB and
RS-232 instruments. Then use your
browser to send instrument com-
mands interactively and quickly see
your measurement results. Use the
digital display and LEDs to check
the IP address and troubleshoot
locally.
For programming capability you
have access with the latest version
of IO Libraries Suite, version 14.2,
to program in all standard develop-
ment environments.
System use
For system environments, the
E5810A gateway can be rack
mounted. The rack mount kit
(Option 100) allows two devices to
be placed side-by-side in one rack
width. With its built-in power sup-
ply, there are no additional power
modules to mount.
