Verifying Instrument Communication
The last step in installing and configuring the E5810 is to verify
communication from your PC to up to 14 connected GPIB instruments and/
or one RS-232 instrument via the E5810 Web access. See
Chapter 3 ,
“Using E5810A Web Access” for details.
Open the Instrument Page
You can verify instrument communication using the Find and Control
Instruments Connected to your E5810 page of the E5810 Web access.
On the address line of your Web browser type http://<E5810 IP
Address>
(where <E5810 IP Address> is the IP address of the E5810
shown on the front panel display). Then, press Enter to display the Welcome
page.
From the Welcome page, click the Find&Query Instruments icon to display the
Password dialog box. If the default password is being used, the Password
dialog box shows asterisks (*****). If not, type in the E5810 password. Click
the
Submit button to display the Find and Control Instruments Connected to
your E5810 page.

such as C or Visual Basic, you must first install and configure the
Agilent IO Libraries Suite as shown in
“Installing and Configuring Agilent
