Overview of Remote Control
LAN remote control system
Control over SICL-LAN server
In the control system using the SICL-LAN server, communication between the external
controller (client) and the E5061A/E5062A (server) is performed using the SICL-LAN
protocol. Communication is performed using SICL (Standard Instrument Control Library).
You can control the E5061A/E5062A by programming using SICL or VISA with the C
language in the UNIX environment, or Visual C++, Visual Basic, or VEE in the Windows
environment.
Preparing the E5061A/E5062A
To communicate with the external controller, follow these steps to turn on the SICL-LAN
server of the E5061A/E5062A in advance.
Step 1. Turn on the SICL-LAN server of the E5061A/E5062A.
[System] - Misc Setup - Network Setup - SICL-LAN Server [ON]
Step 2. Set the GPIB address of the E5061A/E5062A for control with the SICL-LAN server. “XX”
represents an address number.
[System] - Misc Setup - Network Setup - SICL-LAN Address [XX]
NOTE You need to restart the E5061A/E5062A firmware after changing the on/off setting or
address setting of the SICL-LAN server.
Preparing the external controller
In order to establish communication to the E5061A/E5062A using the TCP/IP protocol,
you need to set the I/O interface of the external controller in advance. This section shows
the setting procedure when using the external controller in the Windows environment.
NOTE You must install the Agilent I/O Libraries in advance.
Use Agilent I/O Libraries M.01.01 or Agilent I/O Libraries Suite 14 or later.
For further information on the I/O Libraries, see the Agilent I/O Libraries Manual.
The Agilent I/O Libraries may not be available for certain external controllers or OS
versions. For further details, refer to the Help guidance for the Agilent I/O Libraries.
