5. Communicate with PC
Supports communication with a computer via a USB port or a LAN port. Using the
Waveform Editor software installed on the computer, the signal generator can be
operated on the computer to control the output of the signal generator.
Here's how to connect to a computer. First, install the Waveform Editor software on
the CD-ROM on your computer. Then, there are several connection options to choose
from.
Using USB Port
(1) Set the USB device protocol type of the signal generator: Press Utility → I/O
Setup → USBDEV , switch to PC.
(2)
Connection: Connect the USB Device interface on the rear panel of the signal
generator to the USB interface of the computer with a USB cable.
(3) Install the driver: Run Waveform Editor software on the computer, press F1 to
view the built-in help documentation. Follow the instructions to install the driver.
The path of the driver is the USBDRV folder in the directory where the Waveform
Editor communication software is located.
(4) Host computer communication port setting: Open the Waveform Editor
software, click “Communications” in the menu bar, select “Ports-Settings”, in the
setting dialog box, select the communication port as “USB”. After the connection
is successful, the connection status prompt in the lower right corner of the
software interface turns green.
Using LAN Port
Connect Directly
(1) Connection. Plug one end of the network cable into the LAN connector on the
rear panel of the signal generator; the other end is plugged into the LAN
interface of the computer.
(2) Set the network parameters of the computer. Since the signal generator does
not support automatic IP address acquisition, you need to specify the IP yourself.
Here we set the IP address to 192.168.1.71.
(3) Set the network parameters of the host computer. Run Waveform Editor
software on the computer. In the "Communications" menu, under
"Ports-Settings", select the communication port as "LAN", the IP is set to be the
same as the first three fields of the computer's network IP in step (2), and the
last field has a different IP address. It is "192.168.1.99"; the port can be set to
