Hello,
This is my first attempt to connect an oscilloscope to a PC. I'm attempting to connect via LAN.
Some background:
- From the Utlilities > Remote menu of the oscilloscope, I can see that the scope is controlled from TCP/IP.There is a original IP address ,maybe 169.254.139.46, I can't recall it exactly since I tried this address as the resource name in labview but failed.
And I also tried to pin this address with no reply.
- The PC is connected to the internet wirelessly; the oscilloscope and PC are connected via an ethernet cable
- Downloaded the VICP Passport for NI-VISA and attempted to run the example vi using VICP::<hostname> as the VISA resource name, without having configured a network device in Measurement & Automation Explorer. Labview produces error "VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0067) The given session or object reference does not support this operation"
- Tried adding a network device to MAX by manually specifying address information (in addition to supplying the hostname, tried using LAN Device name inst0 and INSTR, as well as port number). When I click Validate, there is an error: "Could not open a VISA session to <resource name>, VISA error code 0xBFFF0011. Insufficient location information or the device resource is not present in the system"
Also I've tried to set the PC and oscilloscope IP static address in the same subnet as follows:
ip:192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3
subnet mask:255.255.0.0
gateway:192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1
still can't connect to PC
Hope anyone can help me on this.
Thank you!

Your computer has two getaway.. wrong...
put no getaway on your PC Ethernet and oscilloscope. Since your computer use wifi to connect internet, you should have no problem doing that.
make sure that your internet (wifi) is not in the same range of your oscilloscope. your subnet mask is way too large.
Read on IP V4 networking... it will greatly help you.
Firewall can also prevent you from pinging. antivirus and windows firewall can block it...
Your oscilloscope is fine and your computer as well. it's only network configuration issue.

Thank you very much.
Change the static address to DHCP and problem solved.
