Bus operation
The Series 3700 supports bus operation over USB, Ethernet and GPIB. The GPIB settings may
be set from the front panel, or once controlled by the bus, over the bus.
1. Viewing or configuration using the front panel:
a) Press the MENU key to bring up the main menu,
b) Turn the wheel to scroll to "GPIB" menu item and press the ENTER key.
c) Select setting to change ADDRESS or ENABLE
2. Viewing or configuration over the bus:
a) gpib.address to change the address
b) gpib.enable to change the enable setting.
ON: GPIB will respond to bus commands.
OFF: GPIB will not respond to bus commands.
USB is always connected and available to send bus commands. There are no unique USB
settings. To use USB, make sure have installed the Test Script Builder application. The
applicable USB driver is available after installing this software.
NOTE For your Series 3700 to be recognized by your computer over the USB interface, the
proper driver must be installed. Installing the Test Script Builder application also
installs the applicable USB driver (it becomes available after installing this software).
To complete the USB driver installation, after installing the Test Script Builder
application, connect the Series 3700 USB connector (rear panel) to the computer.
Ethernet supports various settings. The LAN logical device has options that show the current
status under lan.status commands while it has pending configuration settings under lan.config.
The config settings will take effect when lan.applysettings is executed. Using the lan.reset
command is equivalent to doing a lan.restoredefaults followed by a lan.applysettings. To only
restore defaults without resetting to them, use the lan.restoredefaults command by itself. Please
refer to the LAN ICLs directly for individual settings that may be controlled with the LAN logical
device. From the front panel, the LAN (Ethernet) options may be enabled or disabled collectively
under MAIN MENU and LAN settings. From the bus, one may enable or disable certain aspects
of LAN with:
1. comm.lan.telnet.enable
2. comm.lan.web.enable
3. comm.lan.vxi11.enable
4. comm.lan.rawsockets.enable
The following list contains the four LAN default port numbers (along with corresponding ICLs to
query for these values):
1. telnet is 23 (ICL: lan.status.port.telnet)
