The Home page of the instrument provides information about the instrument. It includes:
• The instrument model number, manufacturer, serial number, and firmware revision number.
• The TCP Raw Socket number and Telnet Port number.
• The last LXI message. The history link opens the LXI Home page.
• The ID button, which allows you to identify the instrument. Refer to Identify the instrument (on
page 3-14).
Identify the instrument
If you have a bank of instruments, you can select the ID button to determine which one you are
communicating with.
To identify the instrument:
1. On the Home page, select the ID button. The button turns green and the LAN status indicator on
the instrument blinks. On instruments with a front panel interface, the System Communications
menu also opens and the LXI LAN indicator on the LAN tab blinks.
2. Select the ID button again to return the button to its original color and return the LAN status
indicators to steady on.
Review events in the event log
Under LXI Home, the Log option opens the event log. The event log records all LXI events that the
instrument generates and receives. The log includes the following information:
• The EventID column, which shows the identifier of the event that generated the event message.
• The System Timestamp column, which displays the seconds and nanoseconds when the event
occurred.
• The Data column, which displays the text of the event message.
To clear the event log and update the information on the screen, select the Refresh button.
