Once you have the IP Address for the PC/Laptop you should compare them and verify that the IP

Addresses are compatible. Typically this means that the first three numbers match up, and the

forth number is different.

Pinging the Instrument

Once you have verified that the IP Addresses are compatible you should try to ping the

instrument.

How to ping the instrument:

Go to Start->Run and enter “CMD” to get to the command prompt

Type “PING 192.168.1.205” at the command prompt, substituting the IP Address with

that of your instrument. In the example below, an which had an IP address of
