Multimeter configuration - Driver and ethernet connection

[emilie_grd]

Hi everybody !

I am currently using a multimeter (Keysight 34461A) with an ethernet connection for my project. I downloaded the driver of the instrument but I did not managed to make my system work..

In the function main, I entered the following lines:

ag3446x_InitWithOption("TCPIP::192.168.0.120::5024::SOCKET", VI_FALSE, VI_FALSE,"Simulate=0, RangeCheck=1, QueryInstrStatus=0,Cache=1", &handle_session);

ag3446x_ConfigureMeasurement(handle_session, AG3446X_VAL_FREQ, AG3446X_VAL_AUTO_RANGE_ON, 1E-6);

ag3466x_ConfigureTrigger(handle_session, AG3466X_VAL_IMMEDIATE,0.0);

ag3446x_Read(handle_session, 5000, &freq);

However, I am not sure of the declaration of the TCPIP connection, in the Initialization step, 192.168.0.120 is my IP adress, 5024 is my remote port.

I only found tutorials for GPIB connection, has someone already configured a multimeter with a driver and an Ethernet connection ?

Thank you in advance for your help !

Hello emilie_grd,

I suggest you to first verify if your multimeter is well connected to your network and then to check if MAX detects it.

Following link will give you a clear guideline:

Also, have you installed this driver?
