Remote Communication

Use the Remote dialog to setup remote communication. You can select a
network communication protocol, establish network connections, and
configure the Remote Control Assistant log from the Remote dialog. The
choice of communication protocols is limited to TCPIP, GPIB, and USB488
(on specific models).

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

GPIB is an option that either requires a GPIB card to be installed in
an open card slot on your oscilloscope or the use of an external USB
to GPIB Teledyne LeCroy accessory. Your particular oscilloscope may
support both, or only one of the options/accessories. For more
information about which Teledyne LeCroy GPIB options and
accessories your oscilloscope supports, Contact Teledyne LeCroy for
Support
.

The instrument uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as
its addressing protocol. Therefore, it is not necessary to set up an IP
address if your network supports DHCP. If it does not, you can assign
a static address in the standard Windows network setup menu.

The Remote Control Assistant monitors communication between your PC
and oscilloscope when you are operating the instrument remotely. You can
log all events or errors only. This log can be invaluable when you are
creating and debugging remote control applications.

control protocol/Internet protocol) or GPIB (general purpose
interface bus). If you do not have a GPIB card installed, the GPIB
selection will not be accessible.

Address data entry control and provide an address.
