Figure 2. Flow diagram for setting up the IP addresses

On the PC, click on ‘START/Run’. On the Run dialog box, type cmd then OK. In

the Cmd Window, type ipconﬁ g then Enter. The PC’s IP address is now shown.

For example, if the PC’s address is 141,121,63.166, set the oscilloscope’s IP to

141.121.63.167 and the PSA’s address to 141.121.63.168. Reboot the PSA after

changing the IP address by cycling its power switch.

The next step is to launch the 89601A VSA. During the initialization phase the

software will identify the instruments and the IP addresses. On the tool bar,

open the Utilities menu then select ‘Hardware’. Click on ‘ADC 1’ and check ‘In-

ﬁ niium scope’. Click on ‘Tuner 1’ and check ‘PSA Series’ then click on ‘Source’

and check ‘source’. While in the source window, click ‘Conﬁ gure’ and make

sure that ‘Restore State’ is true. Make sure that ‘Default Conﬁ guration’ and

‘Simulation Hardware’ are not checked, then click OK.

The display shows the center frequency on the left and 300 MHz span on the

right, which means that the VSA is set up to do 300 MHz bandwidth measure-

ments.
