Using IO Interfaces

Using LAN

When you connect to the signal generator, the UNIX window will display a welcome message and a
SCPI command prompt. The instrument is now ready to accept your SCPI commands. As you type
SCPI commands, query results appear on the next line. When you are done, break the Telnet
connection using an escape character. For example, Ctrl-],where the control key and the

] are

pressed at the same time. The following example shows Telnet commands:

$ telnet myinstrument 5023

Using FTP

FTP allows users to transfer files between the signal generator and any computer connected to the
LAN. For example, you can use FTP to download instrument screen images to a computer. When
logged onto the signal generator with the FTP command, the signal generator’s file structure can be
accessed.

Figure 2- 8

shows the FTP interface and lists the directories in the signal generator’s user

level directory.

NOTE

File access is limited to the signal generator’s /user directory.
