Remote control of DL9240 using LAN

[tflink]

Hello,

I am trying to connect to an Yokogawa oscilloscope (DL9240) using the LAN interface.

The problem is that it requires username and password for the connection.

I don't know how to set that up in LabView or MAX.

Now I can run VISA open but if I send idn? it will give me an answer like asking for username.

I can use a terminal tool provided by Yokogawa to communicate and it is working fine but i I use a network sniffer I can see that they are communicating username and password.

I have searched all VISA properties but I can not find anything useful.

Can anyone help me?

Best Regards

Thomas

Hey Thomas,
       Have you taken a look at the LabVIEW Plug and Play driver for your instrument?  It does not state that it supports ethernet, but it might be worth using after you figure out the security issue.  I also recommend that you take a look at the users manual for your instrument and see if there are ethernet security settings that you can disable.  If that does not help, you should contact the manufacturer.

Cheers,

Hello,

Thanks for your reply Nathan.

Yes, I have looked at the driver and that is not handling this issue as it does not support the Ethernet interface. I could not find anything in the manual either to disable the user verification when using over ethernet.

I have finally got it to work over the USB instead but I am still interested to get the ethernet running. (not by using Yokogawas USBTMC driver, instead using the NI version)

I think I will follow your advice and contact the manufacturer.

Regards

Thomas
