Selecting a remote command interface

This section provides the details of how to use a remote command interface to connect to the

Series 2600A.

VXI - 11

This command interfaces provides message boundaries, supports serial poll, and serial request

(SRQ). You can expect a slower connection with this protocol.

Raw socket

Use as an alternative to VXI -11. Raw socket offers a faster connection than VXI-11. However, raw

socket does not support serial poll and serial request message boundaries.

Dead socket connection

Use the dead socket connection to manually disconnect a dead session on any open socket. This

forces the connection to close when the dead socket connection is closed.

Configuring a telnet connection

The Series 2600A supports the telnet protocol that you can use over a TCP/IP connection to issue

commands to the instrument. You can use a telnet connection to interact with scripts or issue

commands in real-time.

NOTE This example uses HyperTerminal available with Microsoft Windows

XP. Consult the help system for your version of Microsoft Windows to

identify a compatible tool.

To connect with the Series 2600A using HyperTerminal on a Windows XP system, complete the

following steps:

1. On the host PC, click Start > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal. A dialog

box similar to the one shown in

Figure 16-5 should open.
