This is a repost of a previous Q with more info added: I'm trying to connect a LeCroy WaveRunner 6051 (Oscilloscope) to the system through ethernet. However, I can see no ethernet port in the VISA I/O control (only my serial, parallel, and GPIB ports). So I was guessing that I needed to setup the ethernet port (using MAX) before I would be able to use it in LabVIEW.
I'm in the process of setting up a VISA TCPIP resource, but am having a bit of trouble with it. I guess the Oscilloscope is not VXI-11 compatible as no instruments are found when I try to setup a VXI-11 resource. Instead I'm trying to setup a Raw Socket. However I'm not sure of what the Port Number should be. Is this number pre-configured to the instrument (do I need to look this number up somewhere), or do I just assign it and use it when I address the instrument? I know that the ethernet connection is working as I can transfer files from my computer to the oscilloscope and back through a shared folder. I also noticed that I can add a remote system in MAX. This would require putting a VISA server on the Oscilloscope - I'm guessing that this is not what I should do to connect the oscilloscope. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Russ
