Utilities and Preferences
Overview
The Utilities and Preferences dialogs are accessed from the menu bar’s
Utilities selection. Utilities and Preferences contain setup and other
information that doesn’t need to be changed or accessed frequently.
Other items are located in the various top menu bar drop-downs.
Most of the following entries correspond to labeled tabs on the Utilities
dialog.
Status
The status read-only dialog displays system information including serial
number, firmware version, and installed software and hardware options.
To access Status, from the menu bar, choose Utilities.
Now, touch the Status tab on the Utilities dialog.
Remote Communication
The Remote dialog is where you can select a network communication
protocol, establish network connections, and configure the Remote Control
Assistant log. The choice of communication protocols is currently limited to
TCPIP.
NOTE: 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 dialog. Consult with
your IT department. The local firewall may make it difficult for you to do
this on your own.
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.
