TestingI connected the LAN port on the oscilloscope to the Ethernet port on my PC with a cross-over cable. This an Ethernet cable with two of the pairs crossed.
If you need details on how to make a crossover cable check:
http://www.cablesplususa.com/rj45-utp-guide.phpIn this set up there is no DCHP, so you have to configure the LAN address manually.
You do this by going to the utility -> I/O -> LAN Settings.
I had to take the Config off Automatic and enter the IP and Subnet mask manually.
Note: The IP address that worked for me, may not work for you. You have to check how your Ethernet adapter in your pc is setup.
Web Browser ApplicationThere is a web server in the scope. You can access this by entering the IP address on your browser. I had to install Java on my pc. You get security warning etc.
Here are some screen shots:
This first picture shows the Oscilloscope controls on the PC screen. You can operated the scope by remote control.
This shows the
About Oscilloscope screen showing I have the Wavegen installed.
This shows the browser interface.
IssuesI have not found a way to set the manual IP address so that it is non-volatile. I have to re-enter the IP and subnet masks every time I start up the oscilloscope
. I looked at the teardown video. I don't see an EEPROM, so may be that is the way it was designed. Agilent may have assumed that you have DHCP on the network.
My computer Ethernet port does not like to connect to the scope automatically. I have to disable the interface and the enable to connect the scope.
Any ideas?
Modification I need to add some mechanical support to the board to take the stress off the edge connector. I will make a small front panel and attach it with brackets to the board,
